One day at Kalinda Primary School I went into the lost property room to find my jacket, but I found a jar! What type of jar was it? Was it a genie one? I rubbed it, then a genie came out! The genie had yellow and blue clothes on, he said his name was Kal, and I had 3 wishes. “Okay I wish bullies were friendly people. Second wish, my teacher has to bring a chocolate for the children each Monday! My third wish is that I will never lose my jacket again because that will make my mum happy.” The genie said “your wishes will be granted by lunchtime, thank you Kal!” Then in a puff of yellow and blue smoke the genie was gone!
