"Yes, we do," Samir said to Shadow. "We have all kinds of books here."
Samir turned to Raine, Cadpig, and Melanie.
"No, we don't have any computers," he said. "Yes, we have cookbooks and history books of all royal family members in Shiradaba. I am briefly mentioned in one of the books in a sentence that explains how my father died in a war that happened in this city fifteen years ago, and Mukhtar, Hasib, and Akram were briefly mentioned in that same book about joining the war as well as many of the other guards here in this palace."
Samir went up a spiral staircase to a second-story bookshelf wall, got on a sliding ladder, went up and across the bookshelf wall on that ladder, picked out a book, and made his way back down with it.
"My favorite kind of books to read are those that explain the cultures of other countries," he said to the others as he held up a book about American culture. "I just love learning how people in other countries live."

"Well, Samir, if you have all kinds of books here," Shadow said smirking, as he already knew what he was going to say, "you probably have one of those books that lets anyone get sucked into the pages. Right?" He of course, said it as a joke. What are the chances of Shiradaba having that kind of book?
"Aaaah, the grand United States of America!" Rosalina wagged her tail happily. "As an American myself, I like learning your culture."

" Do you have a Spanish book? It may come in handy one day." Melanie said to Samir.
" Where are the musical books? " Cadpig said to Samir.
" Shadow as if they would have a book like that. If they do I wish there was a Thunderbolt one." Raine said.

Samir stared at Shadow in bewilderment.
"I don't think there's such a book as that," he said, and he turned to Rosalina. "You do? That's wonderful. Ever since reading about the Untied States of America, it has become one of my most favorite places that I wish to go to."
Hearing this gave Flo an idea.
"Samir, since my friends and I flew here," she said, "how would you like to fly to the United States with us?"
This got Samir excited.
"Really?" he said. "I'd love to come to the United States with you all. I can use the magic carpet to get there."
"Great!"
Samir then turned to Melanie and Cadpig.
"Yes, there are Spanish books here," he said. "In fact, there are books about many languages."
He then pointed at one of the aisles on the right side of the library.
"Books on music are over there."

" The book of rock Jarrod this is fasniating. Samir do you like music? " Cadpig said.
" Thank you Raine now listen." Melanie said teaching Raine Spanish.
" Hey Samir or to your other guards can we hear some Arabic?" Melanie said.

"Okie, and I'll use my wristband to get there." Shadow chuckled to Samir. "The flight wristbands."
"And since I gave mine to Sherine, I have to join you on your carpet." said Rosalina.

"That's right," said Sherine, lifting up the right cuff of her shirt to reveal the wristband around her wrist. "I'll be using this to fly with you."
"I will be riding on the magic carpet, too," said Dalia.
"And I will be using my wristband to fly back home," said Flo.
"Yes, I love music," said Samir. "I often dance to the music played in this palace with Dalia and all the other belly dancers here."
He turned to Melanie.
"I haven't learned much Arabic, but I'll give it a try. Marhaban 'anā Samir. Surirtu biligā'iki."
Mukhtar, Hasib, and Akram, having returned to the palace, entered the library, with Mukhtar holding a lamp that is exactly the same as the one that Shadow got sucked into earlier.
"Your highness, we were told that we would find you here in the library," said Mukhtar. "Well, we found the lamp."
He held it up for everyone in the library to see.
"Nice," Samir said as he took a good look at the lamp.

"Hmmmmm, do you think I could ride in the lamp?" Shadow asked the group, blushing. "If I become a genie as a result, I'd be happy to grant you three more wishes. Come to think of it, it'll be fun."
"And how would you turn the lamp into a hangout area?" Rosalina asked the barefoot star-spotted Dalmatian.
"I have no leads yet, but there could be people who wishes to be genies." Shadow answered and eyed to the tiger guards. "So if you agree with me, with me being carried inside the lamp, please hand it to me."
"If you become a genie, could we wish that the lamp doesn't turn anyone into a genie after they're sucked in?" Rosalina asked, wanting to know.
"I don't see why not." Shadow nods.

" We've got our wristbands guys when your ready to leave we are as well." Raine said.
" It's at least better than my brother Antonio who knows nothing of Spanish." Melanie said.
" A dancer your highness you must show us some of your moves. " Cadpig said.
" Anyone want too share a wristband with us?" Jarrod said.

"I can't say that I am a dancer," Samir said to Cadpig. "It's just something I do for fun and not as an everyday thing or a profession, like the elephants in this palace."
He then turned to Melanie.
"Thank you."
"It would be really interesting to see that happen," said Flo, looking at the lamp.
Mukhtar, Hasib, and Akram looked at each other, flabbergasted at what they heard from Shadow and him looking right at them as that was said.
"Us?" said Akram.
"Wishing to be genies?" said Hasib.
"Can more than one genie occupy the same lamp?" said Mukhtar, and he handed Shadow the lamp.
"All right," Samir said to Raine. "I'll get the magic carpet and have it ready right outside at the front doors of the castle. First, I'll have to put this book back."
"Allow me, your highness," said Sherine, and she took the book of American culture, flew all the way back up to where the book was picked from, and placed it back on the shelf.

"We'll see what will happen." Shadow smiled and took the lamp from the tiger guard. "Mukhtar, I would like for you to remove your shoes and be barefoot with me first. I don't think this will fit shoes in."
"Looks like we're going to see what'll happen." Rosalina giggled, wagging her tail.

" Okay we are waiting Samir." Raine said.
" I hope the genie that comes out is musician. " Cadpig said.
" A Spanish one as well." Melanie said.
" I hope it is a female one" Jarrod said.

"Right," said Samir, and he turned to Sherine and Dalia. "Sherine, Dalia, come with me."
Samir, Sherine, and Dalia left the library and made their way to the doors at the front of the castle and got the magic carpet ready.
"No, it's going to be Shadow or one of the guards," Flo said to Cadpig, Melanie, and Jarrod about who the genie would be. "Let's see what will happen."
Mukhtar removed his shoes and set them aside.

"Or both, Flo. Who says that a genie lamp can't hold more than one person?" Shadow chuckled, grinning to Flo. "Besides, magic stuff have no limits."
"Well, that is true. And I have read before that multiple people can get sucked into a genie lamp. I've also heard that it's quite roomy inside." Rosalina's eyes gleamed as she awaited to see what'll happen.
Shadow said, "Genie lamp, if you are able to do so, take both me and Mukhtar inside. That is my wish." The star-spotted Dalmatian then rubbed the lamp and placed it on the ground, with the nozzle facing the Dalmatian and Tiger.
Rosalina waited to see what will happen.

" Hey any chance I could ride on the carpet with one of you guys? " Melanie said.
" We are ready when you are?" Raine said.
" Well we'll what a happens, it could be all of the things we suggested." Cadpig said.
