Runt was ready for anything, thinking he was Rambo pumped him up.     He got his feet ready, then with his mouth, he grabbed a large needle.   He picked it up with his mouth and give it to Sam.    "Sam that's your name right?" asked Runt  "Come on, I said that was my name already.  Let's get out of here now." said Sam   "Oh right, Oh right." said Runt as the back feet jetted up with speed.  Out of the rat hole, they both went.    

Suddenly  Hilda opens her eyes just in time to see Sam and his ride run out the front door. "Get him!  Get him!" she yelled      Ruth jumped up on her feet.  "Get who, Get what! Get!" she said as she still dizzy.

"The rat,  that sneaky fat rat.   He took the Genie!" explained Hilda  "What do you mean, our Genie is still in this bottled. "said Ruth as she picked up the bottle and noticed it was open and the Genie was gone.   She then threw the bottle at Hilda.  "What happens?  You let him go didn't you." she said   "NO, silly you forgot, you let him go.  It wasn't me that mess up this time." said Hilda while laughing at Ruth's memory loss.  Ruth stayed quiet for a little while,  then after about five minutes she finally made sense of the situation.

"Well follow that rat now!" she yelled as she ran out the door after Runt and Sam, whom by now we're pretty far away.   "Runt we did it when I finally get my powers back, I promise, anything your heart's desire is yours." said Sam as he patted Runt on the head   "Hey Hey, what was that?  I agreed to help you.   But what you just did,  you patting me on the head, is not part of the deal.  Don't let that happen again, for I'm no one's pet.  Understand?" said Runt   

"Fine no problem.  You're right,  and I was out of line.   Look I need to get to the top of the mountain over there." said Sam as he pointed to the mountain.  "Say what? Are you crazy or what?  I'm not an automobile.  It'll take me at least a day to make up there." explained Runt  "Please, we have to.  I need to check on my wife.  I need to know if she is alive,  Please." said Sam    "Look, you won't get your powers for about two or three more hours.  I don't know how long you were laying there, so the longer you lay on the black cloth the longer it takes you to get your powers back.  We'll head up, but the moment you get those powers back, you're blinking us the rest of the way.' said Runt   

"'Oh right, Oh right now let's get going, we have a long journey." said Sam    "That's what you call a  journey,   I do believe I'm doing all the walking," said Ruth     Sam remembers that he only has tiny powers.   He snapped his finger and four cute white fluffy slippers appeared on Runt's feet.   Runt freaked out and began screaming.  "Look, Genie Sam, next time you want to use your powers for me or on me, do......Do give me heads up.  Don't scare the shit out of me again.' explained Runt  "How do they feel.  Hopefully, that won't let all the walking hurt your feet." explained Sam   "Now look,  Mr. Sam,  Buddy.  When did you ever see a rat with slippers?" asked Runt   "Well......Well I guess now is the first time I see a rat with slippers and believe me, you look cute." said Sam    

"I look cute, look you got a second to change these girly things off my feet," said Runt     Sam quickly snapped his fingers, and quickly changed the slippers to some manly Rambo boots.  "Now it that better?" asked Sam  Runt quickly walked around and admired his boot.   "Sam my man,  you got it right this time," said Runt as he continued admiring his boot.   "Look before we head up there, we need to find water and something to eat. "said Sam   "Look for what,  come on, you just made boots appear, just make water and food appear whenever we hungry." said Runt   "It doesn't work that way.  That's why it's dangerous when we this tiny.  The elements of the boots, don't take as much power as the elements for food.   I can't make food appear.  So you're  a rat, where do you find your food?" asked Sam   

"Oh now because I'm a rat with a dog's nose or something of that nature.  Do you really think I know where to find food    Why do you think I moved into the witches cabin     they're very messy, they always drop food on the floor    Then I run up and take it."said Runt  "Is that what made you fat?"asked Sam  "Listen   closely I am not fat.  Did you get that, did you." said Runt  "Yes I did, you don't like no one calling you fat.  This was the first and last time I'll ever call you out of your name.  Sorry,  I won't do it again.   Let's just walk, we might find an apple tree or something else to eat." said Sam as he started looking around the forest.  Runt continued carrying him as they searched for food.
