“It took several weeks until Mardita summoned me again. This time, we were inside an Egyptian palace. She was wearing expensive clothes and jewelry. ‘I see you became a princess. Are you happy now, Mistress?’ I asked Mardita.
‘Actually not. I’m not married to Pharaoh to form an alliance, but rather as a hostage to keep my ‘new’ realms under control. And it seems that Pharaoh doesn’t appreciate me much.’ Mardita complained. ‘He just called on me once after the ceremony, but since them, I’m living in a gilded cage.

‘If you permit me to say, Mistress. The original princess was much younger than you and might have appealed to the eye of the Pharaoh much more.’ I replied cautiously.

‘How dare you to speak to me like that!’ she yelled at me. But then, she fell strangely silent. She understood that I was right.

‘May I ask why you wished to become the princess in the first place?’ I asked.

‘That’s none of your business, genie. But for now, I need to get close to the Pharaoh.’ The sorceress answered.

‘I can arrange that, mistress, if you wish me to’, I proposed.

‘Yes, you can. Follow me.’ Mardita answered. She led me to a big hall in the Pharaoh’s harem. Four women, all beautiful, all young, albeit of slightly different age, were enjoying themselves there. ‘In the pecking order of the harem, these women are above me. Thus, I wish that you turn all of them into mice.’

I wasn’t surprised by her cruelty anymore, but still it was worse than I ever imagined. I granted her wish anyway, and the other women of the harem sunk into their collapsing clothes, until finally little mice emerged from the heaps of tissue and fled in panic. That moment, I decided to get back at my masters by twisting their wishes, and I would start with Mardita. But before I could do that, she sent me back to my lamp.”

Martha was totally silent. Finally, she found her voice again. “Sami, I feel so ashamed. This Mardita is indeed one of the most despicable examples of human kind.”

“Don’t worry Martha. I know that you don’t belong to this cruel race anymore. You’re a genie like me. We might be slaves to our masters but we still have the freedom to interpret their wishes.”

“I know that. But still, there a humans who deserve our help. Take Stefania for example. You granted her wishes the way she wanted it.” Martha replied.

“I didn’t do it for her. I did it for you. I would never leave you trapped inside a vacuum or something else.” Sami took Martha’s hand. Martha tried not to blush.

“Thank you, Sami. And since I can get out of the lamp, I promise that I will get you out of your lamp too as often as possible. So we can have a few more coffees in the future together.” Martha answered.

“I’d really like that! Wanna hear the end of the story now?” Sami asked.

“Sure! I’m curious if you could get back at Mardita.”
