announced them this prophecy:

With time,

a liberator will come.

You will recognize it

to this...

Oh Allah, I know,

you don't like that one flies.

It is the last time,

believe me.

Just once.

So that this small carpet

take myself in time in Baghdad.

When the hour

some old king will come,

he/it won't have need

of a carpet.

Oh Allah,

you will take it by the hand,

with sweetness, to his/her/its picture,

and you will take it.

I am not right?

I must go

to save my friend in Baghdad.

It is a question of minutes.

Allah, Lord of the Justice,

let me make.

Vole, carpet.

Wait!

Vole, carpet!

Why do you close the eyes?

Soon you won't see it more.

We will observe them!

tells people,

But if the Almighty

is not able to anything,

what will he/it be able to there, him?

The visionary answered:

Have confidence in Allah,

because in the sky

you will see a boy

of the humblest,

overlapping a cloud.

Cloud as strong

that a rock under snow,

from where he/it will shoot

the arrow justicire

who will hit the tyrant.

The horse!

Quickly!

Ahmad!

Jaffar!

My people,

I owe all to Abu

and later

he/it will be my big vizir.

He/it will go

in the best school.

All sages of the Orient

will teach him the world.

He/it will be then

the wisest of the men,

a well to know,

of science and dignity.

He/it will be a vivid example

for youth

who will remember

how the small thief became...

Abu!

Where do you go?

You had what you wanted.

On my turn

to find for which I look.

- What?

- Of joy!

And of the adventure finally!

Malleson was also a writer on many films, including some of those in which he had small parts, such as Nell Gwyn (1934) and The Thief of Bagdad (1940).
