Don’t Be Greedy!
In a far far village, there lived a girl named Caroline. Caroline was a cool kid in the village, but she was sweet. Caroline had a dog named Sky. Sky was a husky dog. Caroline lived in a big village house. She was getting ready to go to school. Her school was a village school. When Caroline was walking to school, her two best friends, Carla and Krystal, came and joined her. Caroline said, “Hey guys!! I’m excited about my birthday!! Even though it’s tomorrow, but still!!”. Carla replied, “Totally! I love birthday parties!! Especially when it’s yours! Your birthday parties rock!!”. “I know right!! The birthday cake, the decoration! What are you doing this year, Princess?!” said Krystal. Princess was Caroline’s nickname. Since everyone, almost everyone, loved her!! Caroline responded,, “I think i’m going princess theme tonight! I haven’t tried it yet! Plus, everyone started calling me Princess two months ago, so why not go with that!”. When they arrived school, they all went to their classes. When the school day was over, Caroline invited everyone to her princess party, which was at eight o’clock. Before going home, she started handing out invitations. After Caroline got home, she started decorating for her party. It took her a long time, so she went to Carla’s and Krystal’s houses to ask them for help. They said yes, and then they both met Caroline at her house. When all of them were there, they continued decorating her house. After they were finished they went to get dressed for the party. When it was eight o’clock, everyone came to the party. Meanwhile at the party, everyone was dressed up as princes and princesses. The party was going on for two hours. But when the party was over, Caroline and her maid servants had a LOT to clean up. When they finished cleaning, they went to sleep. It was the saturday, the day after the party. Last night, it took about an hour to clean up the mess. But, after Caroline finished getting ready for the day and eating breakfast, she saw something shiny in the guest’s bathroom. It was like a bunch of fireflies had appeared out of nowhere. So, Caroline went to check it out. When she went into the bathroom, she saw a girl with genie clothes and pinkish-gold wings. Caroline stared at her for a minute. Then, she asked her, “Who are you!?! Are you a fairy genie? Who are….?”. Caroline was speechless. The fairy genie answered saying, “I am Kayla, a fairy genie. I have come to serve you. The genie master has asked me to be your genie. You only have 13 wishes, so please use them wisely or else bad things will happen.”. Caroline said, “I have my own GENIE?! AWESOME!! My first wish will be to make this village turn into a..um..future village. I’ve always wanted to see what it would be like. My second wish would be to make me rich. My third wish would be to make me be popular!!”. Kayla got worried. She feared that this would happen. She tried telling Caroline that she should be careful. “You are my genie, right. And genies grant what their owners want. So, I want my wishes granted. Plus, it’s not like it’s gonna hurt anyone. So grant my wishes, Pronto!”, said Caroline. Kayla granted her wishes. Soon, the whole village turned into a future 2015 village. Caroline was amazed with what it looked like. After admiring the City, she granted eight more wishes. Soon, no one liked her, anymore. They were all yelling things like, “What are you doing!!?” and “Stop doing this to us!! What have we done to you?!!”, or “WE DON”T LIKE LIKE YOU ANYMORE!!! NOW STOP OR YOU’ WILL BE SORRY!!!”. Even Carla and Krystal were yelling, “Caroline, stop it!! You’re making things worse!!”So, to calm things down, she asked Kayla to make her be queen. Kayla granted the wish sadly. She was worried that the whole village would fall apart. It already was, and Caroline was only making it worse. And she couldn’t talk Caroline into stopping, because Caroline wasn’t going to listen. It was night, and Caroline was trying to fill in the papers to improve the kingdom. She was exhausted of all the paperwork. So, she commanded Kayla to come. When Kayla came, she said, “This is your last wish, Caroline. So, use it wisely. I hope you will do the right thing.”. Caroline sobbed, “Look what I’ve done, Kayla! I am making the kingdom falling apart, my best and only trusted friends are angry at my, just as the whole town, and this paperwork is too much for me! So, my last wish is to make everything go back to normal. I want to make the kingdom back to how it was! I’m so sorry for everything! I have made things worse!! I have betrayed your rule about being carefull! Oh, how will everyone forgive me? I can’t make two wishes! I only have one!! (Caroline cries)”. Kayla looked at Caroline. She said, “Good that you understand what you have done. I can grant both wishes for you. Goodbye, Caroline, I must return back to my home. Enjoy life well!!”. Caroline said, “Goodbye, Kayla!”. After Kayla granted the last wish, everything was good again and Kayla was gone. From that day, she remembered her adventure and always told herself…
