Who has an old lamp

The magician paid a sum of money, took the lamp back to the inn, and put it in a basket. Carrying a basket of oil lamps, he went out of the inn and shouted in the streets, "Who has an old lamp? Get them for new lamps!" When people heard him Shouting, they laughed and taunted him: "This man must be crazy. Otherwise, how could he exchange the new lamp for the old one?" So the crowd gathered round him, and the children, especially curious, always followed and taunted him. But the magician walked on without a care in the world until he came to Aladdin's palace.
