Eric was trying to think of a way to tell him where he was. After some time he places a caring hand on his shoulder and looks him in the face. "You see, you are from from where you are from. You are in a different country. There are not many deserts, but there are plenty of trees and grass." he told him. Seeing how he would react.

" huh? um...how did I get here ? I was in moutants but now i'm here...can you tell me how i got here" the boy said wishing the man would give him a name.

When asked as to how he got here. He had no idea, but he took a guess. "Well I can't say for sure. But I believe that someone found your lamp while exploring the mountains. Took it into town and sold it. After some time it ended up with the old man who I bet flew here by plane." he told him. Then thought that he might not know what a plane it. "Oh, a plane is...um...like a metal bird. That human can fly inside to get to far away places." he explains. "Anyway he ended up selling the lamp to me and now here you are." he said with a smile. "Now let go her something to eat." he said and took his hand. Leading him to a small family style restaurant.

" so its like a flying carpet, then" the boy said to eric as he followed him inside the place " my old master never let me walk out side he jsut ordered me about and I hated it. you are the first kind master I have been with" the boy said to eric.

He was sad to hear that his former master didn't let him out of his lamp unless it was to wish. Once they were seated to a booth. The waiter smiled and handed them their menus and asked them what they wanted to drink. Eric asked for two glasses of water first. The waiter nodded his head and left. Once they were left alone. He looks at the genie. "I know that it's my fault for not naming you yet. But I came up with an idea." he said with a smile. "You...name yourself." he told him. "Has there ever been a time where you wanted to be called something, but your master or masters never called you by that name?" he asked.

" no...genies are never allowed to think for themself so you can see why it would be hard for me to do the thing that you want me to do" the boy said to the man" um...I've never had anything on this list. Can I share what ever you get?" he asked Eric.

Hearing that he wasn't allowed to think to think for a name for himself. That put a frown on his face. When he talked about the menu and him never having anything on it before. He smiled and nods his head."Sure." he said. Soon the Waiter came back with the water and asked if they were ready to order. He nodded his head and order a sandwich with everything on it. With fries on the side. After placing the order the waiter left once more. Then he looks at the genie "What if I wish for you to come up with your own name?" he asked.

" that would still be hard since...well you know" the boy said with a sigh as he looked down at his lap.

He smiled gently was pets him on the head. "Don't worry. It will come with time. As your master you have to do as I say. So take your time to come up with one. If you need help, I'll be more then happy to." he said in a caring voice. Just then the sandwich had arrived and was set in the middle of the table. It was cut him half. So both can take a piece. "Well I am starving. Let's eat." he said with a smile and took half of the sandwich. Leaving the other half for the genie.

The boy sighed" thats the thing...I don;t know what name I want though, and no matter how long you give me I may never figure out the name " he said to the man pushing the sandwich away from him.
