BR 1-07: The Genie in the Bottle

"A genie!" (Dickins, 2009, p.13)

"The Genie in the Bottle" comes from a very old collection of stories known as The Arabian Nights. People say the stories were invented to entertain the King of Persia, by his clever and beautiful wife.


This is the story is about a fisherman, a bottle and a BIG bad genie.
Once upon a time, a fisherman went fishing.
He threw his nets again and again.
He caught slimy seaweed... shiny shells... and a smelly sock.
Then, he caught something else.
It wasn't a fish, it was an old bottle.
What will happen to the bottle?

This story is retold by Rosie Dickins. This is in the Usborne First Reading series.
It's a level 2 book, so it is short story (about 23 pages) and easy to read.
This story made me little sad... Lol
To tell the truth, i can't recommend...haha
