Eli Baba & The Magic Rocket

Once there was a fun-loving boy named Eli Baba. Eli loved searching for hidden treasures, and on one such expedition, he unearthed an ancient, red rocket. He was quite giddy at his discovery.

Upon touching the rocket, he heard a thundering voice which implored him to make three wishes.


Wasting no time, Eli wished for a cool new hat. He was very pleased with his first wish, as he (and his mother) felt he looked quite fetching.

Perhaps a little cocky about how well his first wish worked out, he hastily made his second wish, for an "older sister to play with"...



In no time flat, a little, blonde toddler appeared. Unfortunately for Eli Babba, she happened to be an expert laundry basket trapper, and chose to show off her skills at that exact moment.






Eli began to question the prudence of his "new hat" wish. His dashing good looks would do him no good in his present situation. (Especially since any instance which caused his mother to oooh and ahhh over him seemed only to renew his sister's determination to upstage him)

He decided to take a little more time to think through his final wish. After what seemed like an eternity, he had it. He wished to trade places with his sister!

And it was so. He made sure to get a firm hold on the basket, so as to overpower her attempts to escape.

Eventually, his arm got tired, so they decided to declare a truce. And they lived happily ever after...at least until his big sister discovered her slobber-coated rocket!
