Tues, about Genies, I think it is teaching there is a price for anything we wish, that you can't take shortcuts, that things don't always turn out like we expect, and to be happy with what we already have or work within the rules to improve/change things. To be careful what we ask for because there may be hidden costs, and to be careful trusting people we don't know who promise to give us something for nothing. The old fables were usually created to teach children important life lessons.
