Aladdin sat, looking at some documents one of the pages had brought him. He held a quill in one hand. Iago flew to him, and landed on top of what Aladdin was reading.

"Uh, Iago, I'm trying to read."he said.

Iago looked down.

"Kid, you're a sultan."said Iago, as he flew in front of Aladdin's face. "See, what you should be doing, isn't sitting here, staring at papers all day. That's what you need your own personal adviser and secretary for."Iago told him.

"Secretary?"

"Yup. And I know just who the perfect one is!"

"Genie's a little busy right now, Iago."

Iago almost fell out of the air, into the trashcan.

"What I meant, Kid, is that you need me."

"You? To do this work?"

"Kid, you just leave it all to me."

"Don't you have classes with Genie?"

Iago perched on his shoulder, and sighed.

"You can't have everything in this life, Kid. You gotta make some sacrifices. I'll just have to give up Genie's very instructive course, in order to help take some of the load off your shoulders. You don't know how much it's going to cost me to do that."said Iago as he began to weep at the last sentence, as if he really regretted missing Genie's classes.

Aladdin grabbed his handkerchief and handed it to Iago. Iago dried his tears and blew his nose.

"It's fine, Iago."

"I just don't want to make the Genie feel bad."he said in a choked voice.

Aladdin thought a minute, and got up.

"I'll talk to Genie for you. I understand you only want to help, Iago."

Iago grabbed Aladdin's foot.

"There's nothing I want more in this world, Kid!"he said.

"I'll talk to Genie."

Aladdin left the room. Iago smiled and rubbed his wings together. He sighed, and climbed onto the divan, putting his wings behind his head. He grabbed some of the fruit that was on the fruit bowl next to him, and stuffed it in his mouth.

"While that clueless Genie, has the Rug and the Monkey, going through those stupid classes every day, I'll be free to do as I please!"he said. "Finally!"

Aladdin found Genie, who was telling Abu at what time he should meet him for the extra study time.

"Genie?"

Genie looked up, and put a chain about Abu to make sure he wouldn't leave until Genie was ready for him to leave.

"Just a minute, Al."he said, and he finished tying Abu up.

"Just can't be too sure. One does have to be a little harsh on their students sometimes. It's for their own good."he said, as he went through the book Teaching for Dummies.

Aladdin grabbed the book out of Genie's hands, and threw it aside.

"Genie, Iago's not going to be able to attend your classes anymore."said Aladdin.

"What!"

Genie's eyes popped out of his head, and back in.

"It's quite important for the parrot to learn proper behavior, Al."

Aladdin sighed.

"Well, it's just that I've decided to make him my personal adviser and secretary."said Aladdin.

"What!"exclaimed Abu.

Genie pulled out a big, heavy book that said Things to Do in big, bright, bold letters.

"Well, I guess we could adjust the schedule,"as he moved his pencil up and down the pages.

"Genie, Iago's going to be working with me now."

Genie nodded.

"We do have a little slot of time here. Excellent for the parrot to learn his responsibilities. Excellent thinking, Al."said Genie, as he wrote something down in his book.

Genie put the book away.

"All arranged, Al."

"Good."

Iago was sleeping when Aladdin walked in.

"What's the big idea!"he exclaimed.

"Genie and I have it all worked out."said Aladdin.

Genie handed Iago his new schedule.

"That way, you can do both."said Aladdin.

"What!"

"You can be my assistant, and attend Genie's classes."
