How can I escape? There are too many guards.
Suddenly a hand came down on his shoulder! Cassim turned to see Aladdin.
Aladdin led Cassim over to Carpet. They got on and flew over the city walls.
They landed once they were a ways away from the city. Cassim and Aladdin faced each other with tears in their eyes.
Father and son embraced.
"Take care, Dad." Aladdin said after they broke apart.
"I will."
"Where are you going to go?"
"I don't know. I'm not safe in the Seven Deserts so I must leave. I'll probably go to Israel."
Cassim took his Hand of Midas cape pin off and handed it to Aladdin.
"Give this to your mother. Tell her that I love her and always will."
"Okay."
"You take care of her for me."
"I will, Dad."
"You take care of yourself, too."
"I'll do my best to make you proud."
"You already have."
"Huh?"
"I'm already proud of you. You've accomplished so much in your life. I'm proud of you for that. I'm also proud just because you're my son. I felt that when when you were born, and I feel that way now. A father couldn't ask for a better son."
The two embraced one last time. Cassim set off. Aladdin turned and let the tears flow down his face.
He went back to the palace and gave his mother the cape pin.
"He wants you to know that he loves you and always will."
