The Magic Candle
One day, a young wanderer got lost in a wood. Suddenly he saw a light from an old hut.
He knocked on the door, and an old woman opened it. She was crying. She said that the devil
had stolen her magic candle. The candle could grant anything she asked. The wanderer asked
her where the devil lived. “In a castle not far from here” said the old woman.
The wanderer went to the castle. There she found the devil, but he was old and weak.
Therefore, when the wanderer grabbed the magic candle from the devil’s table and ran away,
he couldn’t chase him.
But the wanderer was not a kind man. He didn’t return the candle to the old woman,
but kept it for himself. He lit the candle and made a wish, “I want to go far away from here”.
Suddenly the genies appeared and took him to a beautiful palace. There was party in the
palace. The wanderer wanted to make some money. So he lit the candle again and wished for
