A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A green-skinned genie with a beard and turban, rising from a smoky tail, asks a red-haired little girl, "What do you wish, little girl?" Panel 2: The smiling girl replies, "I wish my favorite carousel pony was REAL." Panel 3: The genie hands her a tablet, saying "It is done." Panel 4: The girl, now horrified, reads the tablet, which displays a news-style headline: "PONY FOUND IMPALED ON CAROUSEL POLE" — the wish backfired because the carousel pony, made real, was killed by the pole it was mounted on. Votey: A close-up of the smiling genie's face as it says, "I must kill you because I love you too much."
