LP Compo

Composition assignment for LP. Written while right arm was in a cast.

Ali was listless as he had just come back from school and had no homework to do. He went to the playground to play when he found a lamp.

He was so excited that he quickly picked it up and rubbed it a few times. Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out from the lamp! A small chubby-faced genie popped out. Ali had watched the movie “Aladdin” and knew that genies could grant wishes, so he said “I wish I could score perfect marks in all my exams!”. Ali smiled excitedly for a few seconds. His smile soon turned into a frown as he realized much to his disappointment, that the genie was a baby, and could only say “goo-goo-gaga”. It could not grant any wishes yet!

Suddenly, Ali felt droplets on his face as he saw, much to his horror, that the baby genie was regurgitating on him! Ali woke up and saw that his baby brother Irfan had crawled onto him and was drooling and giggling happily away. “Whew, it had just been a dream!”, Ali said, with a sigh of relief.
