When Aladdinus was a young boy, he was always told not to go near the King's fridge, but he did not know why. One day, Aladdinus was very thirsty, and so as a last resort, he secretly rushed to the fridge. Guzzling down beverages without looking at their bottles or labels, Aladdinus relieved his thirst. Little to his knowledge, Aladdinus was actually drinking special magic potions the King had recieved as a gift. When the King realized his potions were gone, he summoned all the god children to his chamber. When he came to realize Aladdinus was acting strange, he knew it was he who had consumed all his potions. As a punishment, the King caused small painful holes in Aladdinus teeth whenever he ate too much sweets, to remind him he was eating things that he shouldn't, like he had the potion. Because Aladdinus took something that did not belong to him, the King also took something of Aladdinus', his teeth. Throughout his childhood, Aladdinus' teeth fell out, until permanent ones grew back in.
