But the independent-minded Ravina rebels against a union with a man she has never seen. And she objects strenuously to being imprisoned. The Sultan allows her to go to her chambers, with a guard to. ikeep an eye on her. iAlone in her chambers, Ravina glances through some of the gifts her father has discarded, and notices ian attractive bottle. She is absent-mindedly rubbing it when suddenly a Genie appears and announces? 1' S kg that he is ready to grant her three wishes. Ravina, of course, immediately asks for a gorgeous man.
