What If Aladdin did not take the oil lamp ?

 If Aladdin did not take the oil lamp, his life would have likely taken a very different course. Without the genie's help, he would not have been able to win the hand of the princess, defeat the sorcerer, or become a rich and powerful prince. He would have to find other ways to achieve his goals and improve his life. He could have been a merchant, craftsman or a farmer. Without the genie's help, Aladdin's story would have been a very different one, likely lacking the same level of adventure and fantasy.
