She then confessed all , bidding him to ask the Vizier 's son if it were not so . The Sultan told the Vizier to ask his son , who owned the truth , adding that , dearly as he loved the Princess , he had rather die than go through another such fearful night , and wished to be separated from her . His wish was granted , and there was an end to feasting and rejoicing . When the three months were over , Aladdin sent his mother to remind the Sultan of his promise . She stood in the same place as before , and the Sultan , who had forgotten Aladdin , at once remembered him , and sent for her . On seeing her poverty the Sultan felt less inclined than ever to keep his word , and asked his Vizier 's advice , who counselled him to set so high a value on the Princess that no man living could come up to it . The Sultan then turned to Aladdin 's mother , saying : `` Good woman , a Sultan must remember his promises , and I will remember mine , but your son must first send me forty basins of gold brimful of jewels , carried by forty black slaves , led by as many white ones , splendidly dressed . Tell him that I await his answer . '' The mother of Aladdin bowed low and went home , thinking all was lost . She gave Aladdin the message , adding : `` He may wait long enough for your answer ! '' `` Not so long , mother , as you think , '' her son replied . `` I would do a great deal more than that for the Princess . '' He summoned the genie , and in a few moments the eighty slaves arrived , and filled up the small house and garden . Aladdin made them set out to the palace , two and two , followed by his mother . They were so richly dressed , with such splendid jewels in their girdles , that everyone crowded to see them and the basins of gold they carried on their heads . They entered the palace , and , after kneeling before the Sultan , stood in a half-circle round the throne with their arms crossed , while Aladdin 's mother presented them to the Sultan . He hesitated no longer , but said : `` Good woman , return and tell your son that I wait for him with open arms . '' She lost no time in telling Aladdin , bidding him make haste . But Aladdin first called the genie . `` I want a scented bath , '' he said , `` a richly embroidered habit , a horse surpassing the Sultan 's , and twenty slaves to attend me .
Besides this , six XXXXX , beautifully dressed , to wait on my mother ; and lastly , ten thousand pieces of gold in ten purses . ''
