Biography
Farouk was a fruit merchant from the kingdom of Agrabah. He maintained his stand in the central marketplace, located in the bazaar just outside the gates to the palace. Princess Jasmine, on her first true outing into the city, disguised herself and took an apple from Farouk's stand to give to a hungry street urchin. When Farouk demanded payment, Jasmine revealed that she did not have any money. Farouk was enraged and prepared to cut off Jasmine's hand as punishment. When she told him of her relation to the Sultan, Farouk was unimpressed. Fortunately, a local named Aladdin interceded on Jasmine's behalf. He pretended that Jasmine was his sister and that she was a little crazy and didn't know any better. Farouk exclaimed that Jasmine claimed to know the Sultan, at which point, Aladdin gestured towards his simian companion Abu and said, "She thinks the monkey is the Sultan". Sneaking another apple from the stand, Aladdin gave it to Farouk, pretending that he was actually returning the one that Jasmine had taken.
