"The Bottle Imp"
"The Isle of Voice
The Beach of Falésa (Being the Narrative of a South Sea Trader) (1892)”

“The Bottle Imp” (1891)
Keawe is a Hawaiian man visiting San Francisco for the first time. He sees all of the beautiful mansions and wishes that he too could live so well. An elderly man tells him that anything he wishes could be his – he need only buy the magical bottle.
