Ariya's Odyssey 

This is how it all began

​

The Land of Almost Always Sunshine belonged to a round genie named Billy, who came from Behind the Moon Village. One day, while wandering in space looking for adventures and stories to bring back and share with his friends, he lost his way and landed on Earth.  

Puzzled by how unfamiliar everything seemed down there, he looked cautiously around and soon realized he didn't like very much what he saw. He noticed that Earthlings, young and old, were often angry, screaming and even clashing with each other. But what he found most displeasing was that some of the stories he encountered on Earth were sad and did not always have a happy ending.

      The bad things in this world make sad stories, he thought.

​

The round genie’s grandfather lived in an old lamp. The story goes that nobody knew about it until a boy named Alladin found the lamp, and when trying to clean it … poof!!! The round genie’s granddad came out. But that was a long time ago, in an old story, and nowadays, according to this new story, genies no longer live in lamps.
