Howard and I always enjoy walking to school on Thursday mornings.

Why Thursdays? Well, Thursday is garbage pickup day in our neighborhood. I guess that sounds kind of weird—to be excited about garbage pickup day—but just stay with me for one second!

The older gentleman at the end of our street always throws away the most interesting items and puts them at the end of his property for pickup on Thursdays. Once, there was a huge Pac‑Man arcade game. Last week, it was a pinball machine. 

This Thursday morning, we looked ahead to see if there was anything at the end of his property.

“Oh. It’s just a lamp today,” Howard said.

“That’s a funny looking lamp,” I replied, as we approached and bent down to take a closer look. “Look at this weird pattern up here,” I said, touching the spiralled gold design on the lampshade.

You have one wish left!

“Uh,” Howard hesitated. “Did that just come from the lamp?” He laughed.

“I think it did,” I replied, shocked. “I think it said, you have one wish left.” I touched the lampshade again. Nothing.

“Well,” said Howard, “you might as well make a wish! Nothing to lose, right?”

“That’s true,” I replied, chuckling. “Ok. Uh. Hmm. I wish for…

I don’t know what to wish for!” I said, surprised to hear the words coming out of my mouth. “are you kidding?!” Howard exclaimed “we always imagined what we would wish for if we had a wish! you can’t turn down the opportunity! I’m doing a wish!” I lunged and covered his mouth, “it’s MY wish!” I yelled. “oh yeah?!” he asked, “and why should it be yours?” my mind was blank. “Uh, uhm? because I’m the one to pick it up first!” I said and grabbed the lamp. Howard ran at me and attacked me. the lamp flew out of my hand, we both turned and gasped, it was like watching slow motion. it flew up into the air and landed in the hands of someone I didn’t know, he was about my age. he tossed the lamp back and forth between his hands. “ah” he said, “just the lamp my father needed” he glanced toward us, “as for you two, I wish you would just keep quiet for a minute” I tried to yell, but it was too late, the lamp shattered and I found I couldn’t speak. when the minute was up we would have revenge

“I wish for a lamp that can grant us unlimited wishes!” I said. The Genie stared. “Umm…I mean, sure!” Another lamp appeared. The lamp was same, but instead it said, “You have unlimited wishes left.”

The greatest power in the world! “Which is what?” the genie said you have to be more specific, like a thousand dollars or invisibility powers. “well… I’m not sure what power I want,” I said, “So then wish for every power” the genie replied. “well that would be greedy wouldn’t it?” I said to the genie. “well then just do some wish I am getting bored” the genie replied in a boring way. “fine, fine I will with that there are no more conflicts ever again” and then suddenly all the conflicts in the world were gone! “What about my first wish,” I asked, the genie replied, “the first few wishes were used to create conflicts and they took very long to happen”. “well… ok” I replied
