As a westerner, it was
her first holiday to a middle-eastern nation.
It was like what she had
imagined.
She remembered- 'Aladin
and the Magic Lamp'.
Fascinated, she was busy
clicking photographs using her smartphone.

Just then, a monkey snatched her phone.
"S-T-O-P! Give my phone, Abu!"
Abu was Aladin's pet monkey's name!
The monkey stopped.
A young man started conversing with the monkey in Persian.
The monkey handed him her smartphone!
"Here, Miss!"
"Thank you!" she said relieved.
"How did you know his name was Abu?" he asked.
She smiled.
What is your name?" she asked.
"Aladin", he
answered.

Has a thief ever snatched or stolen any of your possessions? If yes, had you been successful in retrieving your belongings?
Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteFun and fanciful tale.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Arab boys read legends too!
ReplyDeleteFun story.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a Disney remake :-)
ReplyDeleteAw, what a nice interweave of the fairy tale with reality. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery cute story!
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun one, Anita!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a romantic story to me. Maybe if the chemistry wasn't there, "Aladdin" would have instructed "Abu" to run away with the phone -- as usual. Good story, Anita.
ReplyDeleteA modern retelling of Aladin? Such fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful tale Anita. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
Walked right into a fairy tale ... what fun!
