David shared a story he wrote in 4th grade on the air.  It touched quite a few people.  We thought we’d share the whole thing with you, so here is The Genie and I.

One day I was walking home from school and I thought I might take a short cut home so I went down a couple of alleys. I bumped into my friends and I talked with them for awhile.  Then I went on my way.

In the last alley I kicked this can and all of a sudden poof this genie appeared with psychedelic bell bottoms and a psychedelic shirt. The genie said that I had 3 wishes and he told me I could think about  it over night.

When I woke up in the morning, I  kicked the can and poof,  the Genie was taking a bath and he said, “don’t bug me now I’m taking a bath…. can’t a man get any hospitality around here.”

At noon I kicked it again.  He said, “I’m eating lunch…got to be right on time you know.”

I kicked the can about five hours later, and poof the Genie appeared and said, “I’m eating dinner, can’t a man get a decent meal around here, Man A Live!”

I kicked the can again just before I went to bed and I said, “now can I ask you?” He said, “yes but under one condition, without being greedy.”  I said “ok, here are my wishes.  I would like  our house remodeled for the whole family.  Next I would like a mini bike.  And last, I wish more people could believe in Christ like I do.”
