The prominent difference between them, though, is the means by which they get to that point.
Aladdin, Ali Baba, and Sinbad, three of the most famous Arabian Nights protagonists, all experience this phenomenon. Many of the characters in this collection begin as poor, working men and, by some twist of fate, become rich and prosperous.
