Sam's aunt has come for a week-long visit. Both his sisters are each making her a present he wished he'd thought of. Sam decides he will make her some of her favorite foods, only each attempt gets ruined. His explanation for why each one didn't turn out (a dragon, a giant, a genie) are humorous, but he is sad. Has a good ending, and shows that the thought can be a great present too.
