The trapped creature (who the boy calls snookle) is freed by the boy and becomes his servant - however, the boy soon discovers that his new servant helps him far too much, before giving the creature to an old woman who needs a lot of help.' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbelievable_(short_story_collection))
