Once there was a girl who lived her whole life scared as a mouse.
One day a genie appeared to her, and he said, “Little girl, I can grant you three wishes, what do you desire?”
The little girl replied, “Genie, I do not need three wishes, for I have only one desire”.
And the genie paused, reflective. And then he said, “And what is that my dear?”
The little girl whispered, in her quietest mouse voice, so small that the genie could barely hear what she said:
“To be feared”.
