Aladdin did exactly what his uncle told him to do in the cave. He also took some fruit from the garden before the path that led to the lamp.

Once he brought the lamp to the opening of the cave, the uncle began to become nervous.

“Hurry and give me the lamp! Then I’ll help you out of the cave,” he called out to Aladdin.

Aladdin refused to give his uncle the lamp until after he was brought out of the cave.

In a fit of rage and frustration, the uncle poured some more of his magical powder onto the open fire while he muttered another spell. The stone that barred the cave from the outside world rolled back, trapping Aladdin in the cave.
