He flashes back to the market place where there is a circus going on. The performers were Aziz, the master of mystical arts, Fatima, the band's acrobat, and Minos, their leader. Abu was also in the circus and he was their money maker. After he robs the audience members, Minos took the pouch Abu was holding and finds an earring. Fatima didn't like the earring and she wanted a golden one. Minos made Abu find one. Abu robbed two people and the third person he robbed was Aladdin. He started chasing Abu and they ended up scaring the audience away. Minos and Fatima saw how Aladdin was chasing Abu. Abu then gave the push to Minos and he found a single coin. Aladdin showed him that he had his money. Fatima then suggested that they have Aladdin help them find their destiny because of his talents. Minos and Aziz agreed, planning that they keep him to see if he has what they need. Aladdin didn't want to help them at first, but when Fatima mentioned that he might get lonely without a friend, Aladdin decided to do so. While Minos, Fatima, and Aziz were doing their acts, Aladdin and Abu robbed the audience members. Sometime later, the group was backstage with tables covered in gold. Minos, Fatima, and Aziz told Aladdin that he did a much better job than Abu. Aladdin said that Abu did as good as him and he gave half of his money to the monkey and left the group. The group took the money away from Abu and started laughing at him. The unhappy Abu walked away. At night, Abu ran into Aladdin again. He went to a turban vendor and gave Abu a turban with a fez on top. The turban was too big for Abu, so Aladdin pulled the end of it and only the fez was on Abu's head. When Aladdin and Abu started walking, they saw an unhappy family with no money. The two felt guilty about robbing people and Aladdin suggested that they do the right thing whether Minos likes it or not.
