Sit Down the Genii Told the Pirate King

Scrambling onto the rich green and purple magic carpet, I waited in eager anticipation, for her golden threads fascinated me. “Quiet!” the pirate king cautioned. Reading mirth in my mind? I turned and smiled. The carpet started off, and I promptly sat. I grabbed the genii’s leg as I fell and he smacked me. “Sit down!” the genii told the Pirate King. Pirate King laughed. He was not used to orders. He fell off twice. The first time we swooped down and saved him. I imagine he thought we would do it again, but we didn’t. I stared at genii. No worries, he told me. I will turn him into an eagle, and he did.
