              \nThe Magic Stone<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHere comes Hylin, he\u2019s finally home.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s found the magic stone.\u201d <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGet a meal ready, he looks hungry.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe is looking just a little bit sundry.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid you find it?—— Tell us quick.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI need some food. My thinking is thick.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After he ate, he told this story.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left several months ago. It\u2019s gory.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went to the forbidden swamp.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was looking for a clue in the font.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I beat off snakes, bugs, and crocks.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found a clue in a hidden box.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, I couldn\u2019t get the box to open.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a spell that couldn\u2019t be broken.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I searched for the Witchy Woman.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found her & she got er done.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clue said the castle of Hat Man Doo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

is where I would find another clue.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went against the Wichy Woman\u2019s warnings.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, you are not now in mourning.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The castle was a scary place, in & out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hat Man Doo was gone. I lucked out.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tricky maze with traps galore.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I had the clue. I won\u2019t say more.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stone was in a field of corn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was hidden when I blew the horn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The horn of Allerick brought the stone forth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some special notes the clue didn\u2019t distort.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is beautiful. The size of a melon.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All bright blue & I ran with it like a felon.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will soon be out of this shack.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stone has power to whoever brings it back.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He rubbed the stone & a genie appeared.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The genie said; \u201cWhat the hell? This is weird.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAm I not granted 3 wishes?\u201d Hylin said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The genie said; \u201cAs long as you don\u2019t wet the bed.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat the hell?\u201d Hylin was a little miffed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The genie said: \u201cWould you rather I gave you a kiss?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHell no!!\u201d \u201c Grant me a wish I already know.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey are always in a rush to go, go, go.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are an insulting and smartass genie.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, at least, I am not a meanie.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, you seem to be a smart ass genie.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat, no humor? O.K. let\u2019s hear your 3 wishes.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI suppose the usual, money fame, & glory.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt might have been, but since you are a smart ass.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will ask for 3 wishes with some real class.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorld peace, world health, & world  immortality.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you mad?? Only one person could fill those\nwishes.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd who might this person be?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomeone called Jesus. He hasn\u2019t been born yet, see.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will give you a future book called the Bible.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will tell you how to attain all those wishes, if\nentitled.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeantime, I will grant you 3 regular wishes.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cO.K. A home for  generations to come, for the\nmisses.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFinancial security for generations to come.\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA family name that will mean much to more to some.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, where is this book you spoke of?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Bible appeared out of thin air above.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hylin reached up and grabbed it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI will grant you one more wish as a gift.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cO.K. I wish that you be freed from the stone.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat? Such a wish has never been known.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy gift to you for giving me this Bible.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am sure what I read here won\u2019t make you libel.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So ends the story of the magic stone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny, the genie never left them alone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he had a new role now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is called The Holy Spirit to show them how.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
