The Monster's Three Wishes
Once there lived a little monster
In a kingdom far away.
And a very strange thing happened
As he brushed his teeth one day.
As he squeezed his tube of toothpaste,
Deepest thunder shook the skies.
And suddenly a genie stood
Before his very eyes.
'I'm the genie of the toothpaste,'
Said the genie with a laugh.
'I've been trapped inside that toothpaste tube
For 3 weeks and a half.
You squeezed the tube and set me free
So here is what I'll do -
I'll let you have 3 wishes
And I'll make them all come true.'
'Oh boy!' exclaimed the monster,
'Wow! 3 wishes just for me!
Now let me think and then decide
What my first wish will be.'
Now my favorite thing is cookies,
Thought the monster with a grin.
But first I'll wish for something nice
To keep my cookies in.
I would like a million cookies,
But before I use that wish ...
'Hey, Genie,' said the monster,
'Will you please bring me a dish?'
'Will I ever!' said the genie,
'For your wish is my command.'
And instantly a dish appeared
Right in the monster's hand.
'Hey, I did it!' cried the genie.
'Wow! I haven't lost my touch!'
'It's a nice dish,' said the monster,
'But it won't hold very much.'
The monster thought of all the cookies
That he'd soon get with his wish.
And he knew a million cookies
Couldn't fit on one small dish.
He would need something much bigger.
So the monster said, 'Hey, Genie!
I would like a great big box ...
This plate is much too teeny!'
'You want a box? You've got it,'
Said the genie with a smirk.
And instantly a box appeared.

The monster cried, 'Nice work!'
But although the box was pretty big
And could hold lots of stuff -
Could it hold a million cookies ...?
It just wasn't big enough.
So the monster called the genie
And said, 'Boy, am I in luck!
Since you'll give me what I wish for ...
How about a great big truck?'
And right away a truck appeared
Before the monster's eyes.
'Fantastic!' cried the monster.
'It is just the perfect size!'
'It will hold a million cookies,
And I'll never have to worry.
And that is what I wish for!
Give me cookies now! Please hurry!'
'I am sorry,' said the genie,
'For though cookies are delicious,
I cannot give them to you
'Cause you've used up your 3 wishes.' (love that rhyme!)
'Oh, no!' exclaimed the monster.
'is it true? I just can't tell.
For although I'm good at eating things,
I do not count so well.'
'Let us count these things together,'
Said the genie, 'and you'll see -
The dish is 1, the box is 2,
And then the truck makes 3.'
'3 things! You're right,' the monster said,
'Now what am I to do?
I've used up my 3 wishes
And I'm very hungry, too!'
'Gee, that's too bad,' the genie said,
'But now my job's complete.'
'I'm so hungry,' said the monster,
'Oh, I need something to eat!'
'I'm sad your wish for cookies
Can't come true,' the genie said.
'That's okay,' replied the monster ...
' ... I'll just eat the truck instead!'
And as the monster ate the truck,
The genie disappeared,
Saying, 'I have seen a lot of things -
But boy ... is that guy weird!'
