Jamillah & Aladdin is a British children's television series, which premiered on CBeebies in 2015. The show is based on the classic Middle Eastern folk tale, 'Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'.

In season 2 episode 26, titled 'Aladdin and the Bag of Money', we see a new adventure unfold for Jamillah and Aladdin. Aladdin is excited as he prepares to go on a trip to a nearby town to trade goods. He plans to sell his dates, oranges, and silks for money. As he is getting ready, Jamillah reminds him to be careful and watch out for thieves on the way.

Aladdin sets off on his journey with his camel loaded with goods. Along the way, he meets a stranger who is carrying a large bag of money. The stranger asks Aladdin to carry the bag for him, as he is tired. Aladdin agrees, and they continue their journey together.

As they walk, they hear footsteps behind them. Aladdin turns back and sees a group of thieves following them. He quickly realizes that the stranger is actually one of the thieves, and their plan was to rob him. Before he can react, the stranger snatches the bag of money from Aladdin's hand and runs away.

Aladdin is devastated, as he had hoped to use the money to buy a special gift for Jamillah. He worries how he will explain this to her when he returns home. Suddenly, he hears a voice calling out to him. He turns around and sees a mysterious old man standing in front of him.

The old man introduces himself as a wise magician and offers to help Aladdin retrieve the bag of money. He tells Aladdin that the bag is enchanted and can only be opened by someone with a pure heart. Aladdin is confused but agrees to the magician's plan.

The magician quickly creates a plan to outsmart the thieves. He suggests that they dress up as traders and set up a market stall to sell some goods. He tells Aladdin to keep an eye out for the thieves and try to find the bag of money while they are distracted.

Aladdin agrees, and they work together to set up a small market stall. Soon enough, the thieves arrive and start browsing the goods. Aladdin is nervous but manages to keep his cool. He starts to search for the bag of money, but he can't seem to find it.

Just as he is about to give up, he hears a distant sound. It is the sound of the enchanted bag of money calling out to him. Aladdin follows the sound and discovers that the bag is actually hidden in a secret location inside the market stall.

He quickly retrieves the bag and runs out of the market stall just as the thieves realize that they have been tricked. Aladdin is exhilarated as he runs back to meet the magician. He thanks him for his help and gives him a small token of appreciation.

Finally, Aladdin returns home to Jamillah, who is thrilled to see him back safely. He gives her the gift that he had been planning to buy with the money from the bag. She is overjoyed, and they both celebrate their victory over the thieves.

In the end, Aladdin learns a valuable lesson about greed and trust. He realizes that not everyone he meets on his journeys can be trusted and that he needs to be cautious. However, he also learns that there are still good people in the world, like the wise magician and Jamillah, who will always be there for him.
