As Aladdin leads the girl to his home, they both start to display feelings for each other. She plays along and the two escape right on time. Aladdin rescues the girl claiming that she is his sister and 'a little crazy'. The girl has just given an apple to a young boy and the peddler spots this and threatens to chop her arm off if she refuses to pay. The next morning Aladdin and Abu are having breakfast when he spots a beautiful girl whom he is instantly smitten with. All the same, Aladdin keeps the faith that he will someday be rich and live in a palace. Discouraged, Aladdin and Abu head for home as night falls. Aladdin is kicked into the mud and insulted by the prince, whom he insults back as well, but the prince blows it off, still thinking Aladdin as nothing more than a mere street rat. Later, Aladdin spots other citizens watching a snooty prince heading for the castle as a suitor for the beautiful Princess Jasmine and defends the orphans as they are nearly whipped for running in front of his horse. With no other choice, Jafar is forced to utilize his resources to uncover the individual capable of entering the cave: Aladdin.When Aladdin first appears, he has stolen a loaf of bread but after outwitting and escaping the royal guards with the help from Abu, the two generously hand their earned food to two young orphans. Jafar sends his lackey within, nevertheless, and the thief is buried alive for his attempts.

He sends a shady thief to carry out this bidding, but the cave's guardian warns them that only the 'diamond and the rough' may enter the cave. In the deserts outside Agrabah, Jafar-the Sultan's royal vizier-seeks access to the mysterious Cave of Wonders to accomplish a nefarious scheme.
