BR 2-18: The Genie in the Bottle

This story is about a fisherman, a bottle and a big bad genie.  Once upon a time, a fisherman went fishing.  He caught slimy seaweed, shiny shells and a smelly sock.  Then, he caught something else, but it was not.  It was an old bottle.  Suddenly, smoke poured out.  The smoke turned into a huge face.  It was genie.  The genie’s tummy rumbled because genie is hungry.  Fisherman thought that is not very kind.  Genie said, “I have been in that bottle for a long time.”  Then, the fisherman went on fishing and caught a tasty fish for dinner. 

I borrowed this book because it seems to be interesting.  This story is so-so interesting.  I was surprised that huge genie entered the bottle.  I did not think that genie entered the bottle.  I do not know why genie wants to enter the bottle.  I thought that it was good that a fisherman could catch a fish.
