"The Magic Lamp"
by
David


here once was a boy named Mark.He lived on a big tropical island in a hut with his mom and dad.His dad was a fisherman and his mom cooked for them.Mark just liked to explore the island.

The next day Mark was the first one up like always. Mark went to the water and found a golden seashell .Although it wasn't a seashell, it was a golden lamp Mark found.

Mark didn't just look puzzled he looked quite curious.He saw a note on the lamp also.It said: Who so rub this lamp shall have a wish granted.Mark rubbed it. He didn't know what was going to happen.So he just said give me a little brother.Then he just threw it into the water.

After that he waited 2 years and finaly his mom had a baby.Mark said yes and his mom said meet your new little sister.Mark was really mad so he went to his little room and sat on his little bed made of straw.

30 minutes later he talked to his mom angrily.He said,
"The only way you had a baby is because 2 years ago I wished I could have brother not a sister!"
He kept on talking. He waited 2 years and all He got was a baby sister.

When Mark's sister was about 4 years old Mark started liking her a little bit.Then he showed her the whole island including Mark's favorite hiding place.Mark taught her how to swim and do the things he does.But he didn't tell her that he found a lamp 6 years ago.Mark stood by his litle sister and said to himself happily.I didn't know it was so much fun to have a little sister.
