Aladdin's lamp

Pronunciation pronunciation key
ăladănz

Definition 
Something that enables a person to attain great treasure or otherwise fulfil his or her desires. In the story of Aladdin and his lamp in Arabian Nights, Aladdin finds himself trapped inside a wicked magician's cave, but manages to escape with the aid of a magic lamp and the genie it contains. As we have no Aladdin's lamp to solve the mystery, we shall have to resort to old-fashioned policing methods.
