She saw the merchant and sent a slave to find out what the man called. The slave came back laughing.
He told the Princess that the merchant offered to give new lamps for old ones.
The Princess laughed, too. Then she pointed to the old lamp that stood in a niche of the wall.
"There is an old lamp," she said. "Take it and see if the man really will exchange it for a new one."
When the Magician saw the lamp, he knew that it was the one for which he was searching.
He took the magic lamp eagerly and gave the slave all of the new lamps.
Then the Magician hurried out of the city. When he was alone, he rubbed the magic lamp, and the Genie stood before him.
"What is thy will, master?" said he.
"I command thee to carry the palace of Aladdin, with the Princess inside, to Africa," said the Magician.
Instantly the palace disappeared.
