Aladdin
jumped into the cave, descended
the steps, and found the three halls just as the African magician had
described. He went through them with all the precaution the fear of death could inspire; crossed the garden without
stopping, took down the lamp from the niche, threw out the wick and the liquor,
and, as the magician had desired, put it in his vestband. But as he came down
from the terrace, he stopped in the garden to observe the fruit, which he only had a glimpse of in crossing it.
All the trees were loaded with extraordinary fruit, of different colours on each tree. Some
bore fruit entirely white, and some clear and transparent as crystal; some pale
red, and others deeper; some green, blue, and purple, and others yellow: in
short, there was fruit of all colours. The white were pearls; the clear and
transparent, diamonds; the deep red, rubies; the green, emeralds; the blue,
turquoises; the purple, amethysts; and those that were of yellow cast,
sapphires. Aladdin was altogether ignorant
of their worth, and would have preferred figs and grapes, or any other
fruits. But though he took them only for coloured glass of little value, yet
he was so pleased with the variety of the colours, and the beauty and
extraordinary size of the seeming fruit, that he resolved to gather some of
every sort; and accordingly filled the two new purses his uncle had bought
for him with his clothes. Some he wrapped up in the skirts of his vest, which
was of silk, large and full, and
he crammed his bosom as full as it could hold.
