“Looking impressive does not mean you know what you are doing.”

Granny Gigglesnort finds a mysterious bottle buried in her garden. When she opens it, out bursts Eugenie the Genie in a storm of smoke, glitter, jewels and thunder. She certainly looks powerful - and Fergus and Trolla are immediately impressed.

But in this funny kids story podcast, Eugenie’s wishes keep going horribly wrong:

• 💎 Fergus asks for jewels and gets mules.
• 🔥 He asks for fame and gets flame.
• 👀 Trolla asks for pickled eyeballs and gets tickling fireballs.
• 🍽️ She asks for a feast and gets a huge hairy beast!

Granny soon notices that Eugenie’s mysterious tattoos are not ancient magic at all. They are instructions telling her how to look impressive: pause for effect, raise eyebrow slowly, wait for applause.

At last Eugenie admits the real problem: she is hard of hearing. Granny gives her an old brass ear trumpet, and suddenly Eugenie can hear perfectly. The friends learn that fancy clothes, big titles and dramatic tricks can make someone seem clever or powerful, but what really matters is what they can actually do.
