Hoxie the hound dog, with floppy ears and a happy tail, hummed a happy hum. He was off on an adventure with his best buddy, Bennett the bouncy bunny.
Bennett, with his nose twitching, hopped beside Hoxie. "Where are we going, Hoxie?", he asked, his whiskers wiggling with curiosity.
"We're on a quest, my friend!" barked Hoxie. "A quest to find something AMAZING!"
They went UP a hill, covered in clover. "Look!" shouted Bennett. "Four-leaf clovers!"
"Let's see... One, two... THREE!" counted Hoxie. "Three clovers, Bennett! That's good luck!"
Down the hill they went, tumbling and giggling. At the bottom, nestled between two rocks, was a bottle.
"What's THAT?" squeaked Bennett, his nose twitching faster. "It looks OLD!"
"Only one way to find out!" Hoxie barked, and with a gentle nudge of his nose, POP! The bottle opened with a sound like a giant sneeze!
Out puffed a cloud of sparkly smoke, and from the smoke emerged... a tiny, giggling GENIE!
"Greetings!" boomed the genie, in a voice much bigger than his tiny body. "You have awakened the Great Gleepglorp! You have THREE wishes!"
Hoxie and Bennett looked at each other. "THREE wishes?" Bennett whispered. "What should we wish for?"
"I know!" shouted Hoxie. "I wish for a mountain of dog biscuits!" POOF! A mountain of biscuits appeared, reaching the clouds!
"My turn! My turn!" squeaked Bennett. "I wish for a field of carrots... that sparkle!" POOF! A dazzling field of sparkling carrots shimmered before them.
Hoxie and Bennett stared at the mountain of biscuits and the shimmering field. It WAS amazing, but... something didn't feel quite right.
"What's wrong?" asked Gleepglorp the genie. "Aren't you happy?"
Hoxie whined. "It's just... we wished for ourselves. We forgot about our friends!"
"You can use your last wish!" boomed Gleepglorp. "Make it a good one!"
Hoxie and Bennett looked at each other. This time, they both knew EXACTLY what to wish for.
"We wish..." began Hoxie. "That everyone we love has a friend as wonderful as we are to each other!"
There was a burst of warmth and light. Gleepglorp the genie vanished, leaving behind a single, shimmering feather. It was the most magical wish of all.
From that day on, Hoxie and Bennett shared their biscuits and sparkling carrots, knowing the best things in life are even better when shared with friends.
