It hesitated. "But I am not very powerful."

I nodded. "Of all things I need, give me the greatest you can."

Suddenly, I held a large mug of hot cocoa.

I would be so tempted to ask the little genie how best to make my house inviting to other little spirits so that any passing by could stop and have a rest.
