Tashi and the Genie

0.0

What would you do if you met a genie? Would you have your three wishes ready? When I was seven I had my wishes all picked out. And I made sure that my family knew about them too, in case they met one. When my mother wrote out her shopping list – milk, bread, broccoli – I would add my list for the genie – world peace, a magic carpet, and long legs for basketball. Well, just in case. I’ve still got my list. And I’m still hoping! Tashi was all prepared for a genie, just like me. But you can never depend on the kind of genie you’re likely to meet. And that was his trouble… ANNA FIENBERG ‘the flying carpet bucked like a wild horse – trying to throw me off’ Jack is bursting to hear Tashi’s fantastic stories about the sly genie and his three wishes…and what Tashi does when he comes face to face with the ferocious war lord again.
