The Jinn Of The Lamp Was Astonished
English story for kids
Saima Nadeem
One day Wania was inspecting old things in her house when suddenly she saw a lamp. The lamp was covered with dust. Wania rubbed it with her hand to clean it, then a jinn appeared. He was hanging in the air. His eyes were red and two big teeth were sticking out of his mouth. Wania got scared.
'What is the order, my lord? Jinn said while bowing.
"I am the jinn of this lamp - I can fulfill your three wishes," said the jinn looking at Wania in silence and fear.
'Really good,'
Wania thought happily.
"I'm hungry, I want pizza first," Wania's first wish was out.
'That command, my lord,'
And jinn had a big pizza in his hand. Wania quickly ate the pizza and started her school work.
'Mam! Tell me your second wish too. I will be very happy, 'Jinn said after a while.
'Let me think - well, can you do my school work? I want to go out to play. '
'Why not, I can do everything, mam?'
"Wow, you're a lot of work. Just do my Math homework. I didn't understand it anyway."
Wania went out to play. She came back to her room late in the evening and Jinn was still there waiting for Wania's third and final wish.
'Listen! Can other people see you? ' Wania asked thoughtfully.
'No, my lord.'
"Then what's the use," Wania regretted.
"Let me think on my third wish.
I will tell you after thinking. You come tomorrow, 'said Wania .
"I'll be there when you call," jinn said and disappeared.
' This time, I will ask for something big, such as a new car, a big house with a swimming pool, a mobile phone with super fast unlimited internet packages and....I already have wasted my two wishes, ' Wania fell asleep thinking.
Next morning, Wania arrived at the school and she told her friends about the lamp and jinn, but no one believed her.
'Show us too and only then we will believe you, ' they started making fun of Wania.
After a while, the Math teacher came and gave the test to the children. Wania couldn't understand anything. All her homework was right but she didn't know the method. She was a competent student but it was her bad day. The teacher scolded her for bad grades as all test was from yesterday's homework.
Then suddenly she got severe pain in her stomach. The school had to call her mother. Her mother took her to the clinic after taking her out of school.
'She has eaten something unhealthy or stale that caused this pain. She will have an injection, "the doctor checked her.
Wania had an injection and she cried bitterly. She remembered that she had eaten pizza yesterday.
"This is how the food earned without hard work works," she thought holding her stomach.
She came home and fell asleep. When she opened her eyes in the evening, the jinn reappeared.
"Mam, I am waiting for your third and final order. Surely you have a great desire," said Jinn confidently.
"Yes, that's right. I've learnt my lesson and I've already thought about my biggest wish." Wania told.
The jinn got attentive.
"It's time that you get out of here and also takes your lamp with you,' Wania said angrily.
The jinn of the lamp was astonished by this wish.
He immediately disappeared and so did his lamp.
