Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to ride his bike. One day while riding, he suddenly hit a big hole in the road and fell off his bike. But the little boy was lucky, because he had brought along his trusty bat. He used the bat to dig a way out of the hole.

As he was walking home, he saw a car stuck in a ditch. The little boy offered to help by using his bat to dig the car out. The driver was so grateful that she gave him a pot full of gold coins as a reward.

The little boy was overjoyed and decided to use the pot full of coins to buy a brand new bike. But on his way home, he stumbled upon a log and lost all the coins from the pot.

Feeling sad, the little boy picked up his bat and started hitting the log, when suddenly, a genie appeared. The genie granted the little boy three wishes. The little boy wished for a new bike, a pot full of gold coins, and that he would never fall into a hole again while riding his bike.

And with a poof, the genie disappeared, and the little boy was left with his new bike, a pot full of gold coins, and a smile on his face. From that day on, he rode his bike everywhere and never fell into another hole again. The end.

Reflections

1. What does the little boy use to help others?
2. How does the little boy get a reward?
3. What does he lose on his way home?
4. Who appears after the little boy hits the log?
5. What does the little boy wish for from the genie?
