Teihotu the Farmer

Teihotu is a really hardworking farmer, who has been working on
his farm for years. He lives there with his family. One day, he was

wandering around his farm after work when he found a wondrously
shining lamp and picked it up. Teihotu kept checking the lamp, and
suddenly a genie came out of it, sparkling. The genie told Teihotu

that he had three wishes and told him that he could give him
everything he needed. Teihotu wished for his farm to grow bigger
and provide more crops so that he could sell them and become a big
supplier who would earn more money.
