The genie in the shop

I went to a shop with my friend Mary because I wanted to

buy a bracelet and some earrings.

We walked into a dark but beautiful shop. It had small

golden lamps everywhere, and many colourful sofas and
cushions. It also had many beautiful golden mirrors. But we
didn’t see any shop assistants.

Mary saw a small oil lamp on the floor next to the entrance.
It was very dirty so she cleaned it.

Smoked filled the shop and then we saw a very pretty

woman floating in the air. She said she was a genie and we
had three opportunities to ask her for wishes.

We ran from the shop because we were very scared. Later,

Mary wanted to go back. So, we went back but the shop
wasn’t there!

equipment for all kinds of sports: basketball, football, skiing,
skating, tennis and so on. It was fantastic!

Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time to see everything,

so they only bought some things for me: a pair of trainers, a
pair of new socks and some shin pads to protect my legs
when I’m playing. I wanted a racquet and a pair of skates,
