In season one, episode twenty-six, titled 'Samir and the Sky Lamp', we follow the story of Samir, a poor boy who lives in a small village near Baghdad. Samir is a hardworking boy who loves to study and learn about the world around him. One day, while out in the forest looking for firewood, Samir finds an old lamp hidden in the bushes.
Thinking it might be valuable, Samir decides to take the lamp back home with him and clean it up. But to his surprise, as he rubs the lamp, a magical genie appears out of thin air! The genie introduces himself as Jinn, and tells Samir that he's been trapped inside the lamp for centuries. Jinn is a kind genie who wants to reward Samir for freeing him from the lamp. He offers to grant Samir any wish he desires.
Samir is overcome with joy and can hardly believe his luck. He asks Jinn for a palace, with gold and treasure and all the luxuries he's never had before. But as he makes his wish, he realizes that there's more to happiness than just material possessions. In his heart, Samir always knew that true happiness comes from love, friends, and family.
Jinn, seeing this change in Samir's heart, begins to have second thoughts about granting Samir his wish for a palace. Instead, he tells Samir he can have anything he wants, except for a palace.
Samir thinks for a moment, and then tells Jinn that his wish is to learn more about the world, and to have the power to fly, so he can explore it all. Jinn is pleased with Samir's new wish and grants it instantly. Samir now holds a magic carpet, which helps him to explore the world.
Samir takes off on his new magic carpet, and Jinn watches him from a distance, pleased with the boy's new outlook on life, and proud to have helped him. Along the way, Samir meets Jamillah and Aladdin. They become instant friends and join Samir on his adventures.
