On a far away tiny island there lived a 10 year old girl named Eve. Eve had lovely long brown hair, eyes as blue as the sky and she wore a pink shirt and purple skirt. She was very kind, caring and curious about everything she sees.

One day she was walking on the beach and she saw a shiny golden lamp on the sand. When she picked it up a big blue Genie with funny curly beard came out of the lamp. He had a big charming smile on his face. Genie asked in a friendly voice " Hello ! Who are you ? How can I help you? " Eve answered anxiously " I'm Eve. I found your lamp on the beach." " Nice to meet you Eve ! I'm Genie." Genie said. " I will help you whenever you need me. Just say my name and I will be there to help you." Genie and Eve became best friends. They played together and walked on the beach together everyday.

One day an old tall lady wearing a dark pointy hat came to Eve's house. Eve knew that the lady was the evil cunning and dangerous witch. Eve angrily told the witch " LEAVE MY HOUSE ! " The witch said in a mean voice " Give me the magic lamp and then I will leave." Eve said " No way ! I won't ever give the lamp to you. NOW LEAVE !" The witch put a bad spell on Eve and disappeared.

When Eve touched the door it turned into a big red TOMATO... When her little kitten touched her feet it turned into a tomato. Eve screamed loudly " AHHHHHHHHH" and started sobbing. She touched her beautiful hair and it turned into an orange tomato. Eve cried loudly " GENIE !!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!! "

Genie comes out of the lamp and sees Eve with a tomato on her head. Eve told Genie about the witch and everything that had happened. She asked Genie to help her. Genie closed his eyes and said softly " Bad spell go away. Let Eve be all better and happy again." And everything went back to normal. Her kitten came running to her. Eve was so happy and said " Thank you so much Genie for helping me." Genie smiled and said " You are welcome. That's what friends are there for ! " And they stayed best friends forever.
