The Evil Genie
Biff had an idea. She wanted to try an experiment. So one day, she put a bottle over a tiny apple. “ I wonder if the apple will grow in the bottle, ” she thought. “ ’ll have to wait and see. ”
After a long, long time Biff went to see if theexperiment was working. It was! In the bottlewas a big apple. Biff showed the bottle toNadim. When he saw the apple, he was amazed. “ How did you get that in there?” he asked. Suddenly the magic key began to glow. The magic took the children into anotheradventure. “ I wonder where the magic is taking us, ” called Kipper.
The magic took them to a tiny island in themiddle of the ocean. Floppy hated magicadventures. “ Oh no! ” he groaned. “ We're on a bare islandwith only one tree in the middle. ” “ Why have we come here?” asked Biff. “ Maybe there's a reason why the magic hasbrought us here, " said Nadim. “ But what?” moaned Kipper, “ There's nothinghere. ” “ No, I don't like the look of this, ” said Biff. “ This is not going to be a good adventure. ”
“ Help me climb the tree, " said Nadim, “ andmaybe I can see a ship going past. ” Biff saw a bottle sticking out of the sand. It wastied to the base of the tree. “ How strange, ” thought Biff. She untied the bottle and picked it up. Suddenly Nadim began to wave and shout. “ I can see a boat, " he called, “ but it's a longway off. ” They all waved and shouted. The boat turnedand came towards them. “ Hooray! It's coming, ” yelled Kipper.
The boat reached the island. There was a boysailing it. “ What are you doing on this tiny island?” he asked. “ You wouldn't believe us, even if we told you, ’said Biff. The boy said he would rescue them, so theyall climbed into the boat. “ I hate boats! ” thought Floppy. Biff took the bottle with her. “ It's very heavy, " she said, “ 【 wonder what'sin it, ”
