The Magic Anklet
Genie:
It works like this: keep me well-hidden in your bedroom and anytime you need me, call me and I’ll help you out. Food, new clothes, whatever you want. All you have to do is ask. Your wish is my command. But won’t my sisters find out? That’s why we’ve got to keep it secret. As soon as they open the door to this bedroom, everything in here will go back to normal...until the next time you call for me. Oh, Genie! Thank you so much! From that day on, Anahita’s life got much better. Whenever my sisters leave the house, I ask the genie to do all my housework, and all my cooking and sewing and to give me the most beautiful clothes, music and delicious food. And I have a dance party in my little bedroom until they return.
