Empty lamp

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the player can sometimes find an item that looks like a lamp in their town. This item is called Empty Lamp and looks as though it would house a genie. If the player decides to pick up the lamp and venture into the southern area of their town after 9:00pm (following the shoreline seems to work), a dialog box will appear from someone named Wisp. Wisp will ask the player to come closer. When the player moves closer to Wisp, he appears in his true form. He will explain that he has lost his lamp, that the lamp is usually where he lives, and will ask the player to find it for him because he is too afraid of open spaces to find it himself. Speak to him again with the lamp on your person (it will work whether you have just found it or if the player had it when they first spoke with Wisp) and he will ask the player to go to their attic, a more comfortable environment for him, and rub his lamp there. When you rub the lamp, he will grant the player a wish. You can choose from four categories: removing all weeds, clearing out cockroaches from your home, an item, or nothing at all. The item category has several sub-categories: furniture, clothing, accessory, or hat. If the player chooses nothing at all, the player will save the wish for later.
