Publisher's Synopsis
Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor
Zil raz jeden chudobný krajcír
this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin
tento chudobný krajcír mal syna Aladina
Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing
Aladdin bol neopatrný, necinný chlapec, ktorý nic nerobil
although, he did like to play ball all day long
aj ked rád hral celé dni s loptou
this he did in the streets with other little idle boys
toto robil na uliciach s inými malými necinnými chlapcami
This so grieved the father that he died
To otca tak zarmútilo, ze zomrel
his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped
jeho matka plakala a modlila sa, ale nic nepomáhalo
despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways
napriek jej prosbám sa Aladdin nenaprav
