Genie In The Bottle (Short Story)
by Blake Moore, Grade 3, NSW
One day I was cleaning out the basement, when I picked up a large box full of toys and behind it I saw a bright, shiny bottle. I blew the dust off it and the lid fell off onto the box. ‘That was close’ I said, when all of a sudden out popped a Genie wearing the most amazing colourful costume. I was so scared that I nearly wet my pants!
Then all of a sudden the Genie began to speak in a funny deep voice. “You are granted three wishes.” “Cool” I said. “For my first wish I wish for a motorbike,” then out of thin air popped a brand new shiny motorbike. “This is so cool” I said. I jumped on and went for a ride. My first time on a motorbike was a bit scary; I was going too fast and fell right off.
So for my second wish I wished for all the Playstation 2 games that have ever been made. Then right before my eyes all the Playstation games I could ever want, appeared in big piles right before me. And for my third and last wish, "I wish for all the money in the world," I said to the Genie. And you guessed it, loads of money came falling from the sky. “Yipee” I said. I was dancing around with glee, I was so happy all my wishes had come true, this was the best day ever.
I was so happy, I was jumping around when I threw the Genie bottle up in the air. I put my hands behind my back to catch the bottle, when all of a sudden, disaster happened. I dropped the bottle and it crashed into tiny little pieces. Then all of a sudden my new motorbike disappeared, all my Playstation 2 games disappeared and all the mountains of money began to disappear. "NO! NO! NO!" I shouted. The best day of my life just became the worst day of my life.
