(He throws the shoe and the hook to the water.  He waits a few minutes.  He takes the hook out of the water) A sock?.  I can not eat a sock!. (He throws the sock and the hook to the water.  He waits a few minutes.  He takes the hook out of the water)  A bottle?.  I can not eat a bottle!. (As he is about to throw the bottle to the water, he hears a voice)

 

 

GENIE:  No, Please, don’t throw me into the river!.

 

 

(The Fisherman takes the bottle in his hand and shakes it)

 

 

FISHERMAN:  This is incredible!.   I see something inside the bottle.

 

 

GENIE: Please, don’t throw me into the river!.  Set me free. I’m a genie. If you set me free I will be your slave.

 

 

FISHERMAN:  It would be fun to have a slave.  I am so poor!. 

 

 

GENIE: Open the bottle!.

 

 

FISHERMAN:  (opens the bottle)  Mmmm, okay.

 

 

(The Genie comes out of the bottle)

 

 

GENIE: Now,  I’m going to get rid of you!.  Ha, ha, ha, ha.

 

 

FISHERMAN: But you promise me that you would my slave!.

 

 

GENIE: I don’t care what I said!.  I have been locked for a thousand years, and now that I’m free I will get rid of you!

 

 

FISHERMAN: Why were you locked for so many years?.

 

 

GENIE: King Arthur punished me.

 

 

FISHERMAN: Why?.

 

 

GENIE: Because I was an evil genie!.

 

 

FISHERMAN: Honestly, I don’t believe you.  This is a joke!.  You were not inside that bottle.  This is just an illusion.

 

 

GENIE: Illusion?.  Are you sure?.

 

 

FISHERMAN: Yes.  You’re so big!.  How could you be inside that small bottle?.

 

 

GENIE: So, you don’t believe me?.

 

 

FISHERMAN: No, I don’t.  I will believe you only if I see you inside the bottle again.

 

 

GENIE:  Fine, if that’s what you want!.  I’ll show you how I can get in, then I’ll come out and I will get rid of you!.  Do you understand?.

 

 

FISHERMAN: Yes, I do.

 

 

GENIE: Indete Batol!

 

 

(The Genie gets inside the bottle. The fisherman closes the bottle, and throws it to the river)

 

 

FISHERMAN: I prefer to be hungry!.

 

 

(The Fisherman leaves)
