Tashi found a genie in a bowl, but does Tashi know that the genie has a secret?
1. Look at the picture on the cover of the book and those on pages 18 and 19. Why isn't Tashi smiling while he flies on the magic carpet?
| The genie is too lazy to make Tashi's wishes come true. He is scared because the carpet isn't working properly Courtney & Natalie, Maroubra Bay Rappers |
| The carpet was dipping and bucking and Tashi thought he was going
to crash. Lauren, Adara, Catherine, Shallen, St Lukes Rappers |
| We think Tashi isn't smiling because the carpet
was out of control, it's trying to buck him off, Tashi is scared of
heights and he thinks it will crash. Room 2 Rappers Para Hills East |
| Tashi wasn't smiling because the carpet bucked like
a horse and Tashi's knees slipped. Rebecca, Donovan Rappers |
| Tashi is not smiling because it was very rough and
very hard for Tashi to hold on. Amanda, Donovan Rappers |
| Tashi was afraid to crash. Tamara. Donovan Rappers |
2. Why couldn't Tashi buy anything with the gold the genie gave him?
| Because it was only copper Lauren, Adara, Catherine, Shallen, St Lukes Rappers |
| We think Tashi can't spend the gold because it was not
real gold, It was copper. Room 2 Rappers at Para Hills East |
| Tashi could not use the gold to buy anything because
it was not real gold . Milton and Timothy, Maroubra Bay Rappers |
| Tashi couldn't buy anything because the
money was only copper. Rebecca, Donovan Rappers |
| Tashi could not buy anything because it
was not money but copper. Amanda, Donovan Rappers |
| The money was copper money. Tamara. Donovan Rappers. |
3. In the picture on p34, why is Uncle Tiku Pu looking so angry and the genie looking so happy?
| The genie is happy because every 7th time someone disturbs the
genie they become his slave and Uncle Tiku Pu was the 7th person to
disturb the genie .He was not very happy!! Isabella and Natalie, Maroubra Bay Rappers |
| Uncle Tiki Pu is angry because the genie is on his back and the
genie is happy because he has a slave. Room 2 Rappers Para Hills East Primary School |
| Uncle Tiku Pu was looking angry because he had
turned into the genie. Rebecca, Donovan Rappers |
| The genie was happy because every 7th time a person
rubbed the bowl, the person that rubbed it becomes a
genie and the genie becomes a person. Amanda. Donovan Rappers |
| The genie is happy because the genie wanted to go to the city but
uncle Tiku Pu didn't because he did not like getting bitten by
spiders and alligators. Thomas, Kingston Rappers |
| The genie was happy because every 7th time someone would rub the
old bowl and the genie would become a person. Tamara. Donovan Rappers. |
4. Tashi asked the genie for an enormous sack of gold to build a palace for his family, a flying carpet and to meet his Uncle Tiki Pu. Why did the genie not give Tashi his exact wishes? What would you wish for?
| The genie did not give Tashi the exact wishes
because the genie is so lazy. I would wish for a
rabbit and a horse. Amanda, Donovan Rappers |
| The genie is lazy so they did not get there wishers, I would wish
for a cat, dog and rabbit. Tamara., Donovan Rappers |
| We think the genie was lazy. The genie was old and losing his
powers. Tashi woke the genie up too many times. Too many people
asked him for wishes and he had no strength left. Our wish would be
to be famous. Para Hills East Rappers |
