One day I found a magic lamp and I took it into my room. My sister, Mia, came in and I told her that I found a magic lamp in our garden and that it was a secret. She told me it was tea time. So I went to the dinner table and we had soup. It was delicious! Afterwards, I rubbed the lamp and a genie came out. The genie said to me "You have three wishes". I said I would save the wishes until tomorrow.

In the morning I rubbed the lamp and I wished I could have an ipod like my sister. The genie gave me an eyeball instead! Then I said "I asked for an ipod, not an eyeball!" Then he said "If you want an ipod or an ipod touch, you need to just wish for them". Then I said I would save it until tomorrow.

Today I got out of bed and got my magic lamp. I rubbed it and I wished for an ipod touch. The genie got me an ipod touch and I had one more wish. It was breakfast time and I had toast with peanut butter. I went back to my room and I was asked my last wish. "I wish that I could fly and be invisible when I wanted to be" After that I went outside and tried to fly and be invisible - and I did!

I told mum all about it. She didn't believe me. I showed her and then she did believe me!!
