Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor

?? ??? ??? ???? ?????

he had a son called Aladdin

???? ?????? ??? ???

Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who would do nothing

???? ?? ?? ?? ?? ????? ??? ?????

although, he did like to play ball all day long

??? ?? ?? ?? ???? ??????

this he did in the streets with other little idle boys

?? ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ??? ???

This so grieved the father that he died

? ?? ???? ?? ???? ?????

his mother cried and prayed but nothing helped

?? ???? ??? ????? ?? ??? ?????

despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways
