Directions:

 Once there was a genie named Janie. Janie was a normal genie that gives you three wishes. One day Janie went to give this little boy named John three wishes. Now John was an unhappy little boy. So when Janie gave him three wishes John's first wish was for a lion. The lion was very big and crushed all of John's toys. John was so unhappy.
John's little sister was loud, so John's second wish was that his sister would be gone. One rainy day John was bored. He asked his mom if she could play with him but his mom said she had to wash the dishes. John then asked his dad but his dad was reading the newspaper. John was really unhappy. The lion crushed all his toys so he couldn't play with them. John wished he had his sister back and the lion went away. He told Janie what he wanted. John learned the lesson "be careful what you wish for." Janie is a genie that gives three wishes but also teaches kids a lesson.
