The Tales of Aladdin and Zipporah

chapter 1

It was a sunny Arabian day in Agrabah. People in the market streets were selling and buying wares. They didn't know that the night before a bad guy was after ruling Agrabah, one who was known as Jafar. A boy called Aladdin was stealing bread with his little sister.

"Stop thieves!" a voice called as Aladdin was with his sister, running through town with a loaf of bread. They both turned to see guards after them as always. "I'll have your hands for trophies, street rats!"

"I can't believe all this trouble for a loaf of bread." the girl, Zipporah, told her brother.

Abu was following the siblings but out of sight. He was scared of the guards due to them having swords but would help his friends. Zipporah and Aladdin tried to outrun the guards as quickly as they could without getting caught and very likely killed for their crimes. Luckily for the street mouse and street rat, they were very skilled and could stop their enemies and avoid the chases. The guards would be close, but not close enough. Abu scampered off and hid to help both of the siblings.

"Riffraff!" one guard snapped.

"Street rats!" another growled.

"Scoundrels, take that!" one guard threw rotting vegetables at them, but the two managed to dodge.

Abu watched from the pole he would use to pull the two into the window safely. Aladdin and Zipporah were safely in a new room, only to find it was a home for girls. They looked very cross with the siblings being there, especially the owner of the house.

"I'd blame parents, 'cept they haven't got 'em." the woman snarled, trying to strike them with her broom.

The girls pushed all of the trio out of the window. Abu was clung to Zipporah. Aladdin and Zipporah bounced and hid behind a man flexing his muscles as the guards walked by, fooled. They then saw through the trick and continued to chase as they walked by a jewel stand. A fat lady ended up scooping up Aladdin, as he was well-known some of the girls had big crushes on him, and sang about how she thought he was tasty.

Zipporah felt nervous for her brother and grabbed him away from that woman as the guards nearly tackled the both of them and they escaped into vases to walk away.

"Get them!" the head guard, Razoul demanded.

Abu was quite scared but soon all three of the 'thieves' managed to escape the guards.

"He's got a sword!" one of the guards pointed as Abu managed to wield a sword against them.

"You idiots!" Razoul growled, then took out his own. "We all have swords!"

"Yeah!" the others took out their swords to chase the not as clever as he thinks monkey.

Abu looked sheepish and then ran after Aladdin and Zipporah. Aladdin and Zipporah ran toward possible corners and nearly met guards everywhere.

"Aladdin, I know this is dangerous, but I got an idea." Zipporah whispered to her brother and handed a rug as they were by an open window and the guards with swords were close on their tail.

Abu looked scared, and clung to Aladdin. Zipporah did too and they all landed on the rug like it was flying and the guards followed, only to land in a giant pile of fertilizer. Abu clung to Aladdin as they floated down into an alleyway.

"Alright, let's dig in." Zipporah proclaimed as they were safe on the ground with their bread. She broke it evenly for each of them to have three pieces, but she looked over sadly. She saw two children who seemed homeless and they were looking for food, but all they could find was an old fish bone.

Abu looked at his two 'owners' though they were more like friends. He scowled and took a harsh bite out of his bread. The girl was searching while also listening out for her brother so he wouldn't get into trouble. Zipporah looked at the 'boys' and decided to let the children take some of her bread as a friendly gesture. As Aladdin and Zipporah gave the children their bread Abu swallowed his bite and looked at the bit he had and groaned, feeling guilty. The girl had moved her brother to her so he was safer. She then looked at the bread they were offering looking hungry but not brave enough to take it yet.
