Story Summary

When a young boy lets a Snookle out of the milk jug, he discovers that his every wish is a command to the Snookle. Fun at first, the situation turns tedious quickly when the Snookle even tries to pick his nose. With a little cunning he gets the Snookle back into the milk jug and delivers it across the street to Mrs. McKee who is too old to do anything for herself.
