    In a small town lived an 8-year-old boy named Sam. He was adventurous, always looking for something new and exciting to explore. One day, while rummaging through his grandmother's attic, he stumbled upon an old lamp.

    The lamp was dusty and seemed to be very old. It was mysteriously attractive, so Sam decided to clean it up. As he rubbed the lamp, a cloud of smoke started to emerge from it.

    Out of the smoke, a towering figure appeared. It was a genie, with a turban on his head and a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. He bowed to Sam and said, "I am at your service, master. You have three wishes."

    Sam was amazed but also a bit scared. He took a moment and then, with a sparkle in his eyes, he made his first wish. He wished for an endless supply of ice cream.

    The genie snapped his fingers, and suddenly, a mountain of ice cream appeared. Sam was overjoyed and started eating, but soon he realized his home was turning into an ice cream parlor.

    Trying to fix the mess, Sam quickly made his second wish. He wished that everything would go back to normal. The genie, with his mischievous smile, snapped his fingers again.

    But instead of disappearing, the ice cream began to grow and spread even more. Sam's house was now completely filled with ice cream, and it was starting to pour out into the streets.

    Sam was desperate. He realized that the genie was not helping but making things worse. He decided to make his third wish carefully. He wished for the genie to undo all the wishes he had made.

    The genie, still grinning, snapped his fingers one more time. But instead of the ice cream disappearing, it started raining ice cream cones from the sky. The entire town was now covered in ice cream.

    Sam was terrified. The genie's mischievous nature had turned his wishes into a disaster. He was now left with a town full of ice cream and a genie who wouldn't help.

    But then Sam had an idea. He asked the genie if he could make a wish for someone else. The genie, intrigued, agreed. Sam wished for his grandmother to have a wish.

    His grandmother, a wise old woman, understood the situation. She wished for all the chaos to end and for everything to go back to normal, as it was before Sam found the lamp.

    The genie, finding no mischief to make with this wish, snapped his fingers. Instantly, the ice cream disappeared, and everything went back to normal.

    Sam was relieved. He thanked his grandmother and promised to be careful with his wishes in the future. The genie, defeated, vanished back into the lamp.

    The old lamp was stored away safely in the attic, and Sam learned a valuable lesson that day. He realized that every wish comes with a consequence and should be made thoughtfully.

    The town soon forgot about the ice cream rain. Life went back to normal, and Sam resumed his adventures, always careful not to stumble upon another genie.

    The mischievous genie remained trapped in the lamp, waiting for another unsuspecting soul to release him. But for now, Sam's town was safe from any magical chaos.

    Sam grew wiser with this incident. He shared his story with his friends, warning them about the tricky genie. It became a famous tale in his town, reminding everyone to be careful with their desires.
