Billy, still clutching the spoon and fork, felt a surge of excitement. “Three wishes?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
James the genie wagged his tail, a rare sight for a genie. “Yes, three wishes are yours to command. But be mindful, for each wish comes with its own journey and its own story.”

“I wish,” Billy started, his heart full of hope, “for a world where every beach has a treasure map, so that everyone can experience the joy of discovery and adventure.”
James the genie’s eyes twinkled. “Your first wish is granted,” he said, and with a flick of his tail, maps began to appear on beaches all around the world, waiting to be found by eager adventurers.
