Once upon a time there lived a monkey 

named Bob.  

Bob lived with his friends on a tiny island in 

the south seas called Herp-Derp.

One Saturday morning while Bob was eating a 

delicious banana and thinking about what he 

would do that afternoon, his friend Jimmy the 

Pineapple came to visit.

Bob opened his banana bag to offer Jimmy a 

banana but found that he had only one banana 

left. Being a generous monkey, Bob decided to 

give the last banana to Jimmy.

Jimmy normally preferred hot dogs, but he could 

eat bananas when he was really hungry.

After finishing their bananas, both Bob and 

Jimmy were still hungry, so they decided to go to 

the beach and search for more.

At the beach, Bob found his favorite magical 

banana tree and climbed up to pick some more. 

while Jimmy tried to keep his banana out of the 

sand.

When Bob reached the top, however, he could 

see a tiny object shining at the other end of the 

beach. What could it be?

Bob and Jimmy walked towards the end of the 

beach to find the shiny object. 

When they finally reached the end of the beach, 

the two found a beautiful gold lantern that was 

decorated with jewels!

They wondered where the lantern had come 

from. 

Did it belong to Esmeralda the Sea Queen? Could 

it have come from Shell Island or Pirates Cove? 

Maybe it was lost treasure? 

Whatever the case, Bob and Jones decided that it 

would be better to bring the bottle back with 

them.

But the moment Bob touched the lantern it 

began to shake and spin. It spun faster and 

faster until suddenly there was a big BOOM and 

smoke was everywhere.

“I AM THE GENIE OF THIS LAMP” 

bellowed a voice. “WHAT ARE YOUR 

THREE WISHES?”

Three wishes? Three wishes? It was so 

wonderful. Here, Bob and Jimmy had only 

come to the beach to look for more bananas, 

but now?

Now they could have anything they wanted! 

Both Bob and Jimmy thought for a long time 

about the things they might want. And thought… 

and thought…

Until… they began to get hungry again. And all 

each could think of was…

Their favorite things!
