GRIN AND SHARE IT: “Three Wishes”


Three Wishes

One day, a man was walking along the beach and came across an odd

much to his surprise, a Genie actually appeared.

“For releasing me from the bottle, I will grant you three wishes,” said
the Genie.

The man was ecstatic.

“But there’s a catch,” the Genie continued.

“What catch?” asked the man, eyeing the Genie suspiciously.

“What is your first wish?” asked the Genie.

“Well, I’ve always wanted a Ferrari!” POOF! A Ferrari appeared in

the Genie. “What is your next wish?”

“I could really use a million dollars.” replied the man, and POOF!
One million dollars appeared at his feet.

“Now, every lawyer in the world is TWO million dollars richer,” the
Genie reminded the man.

“Well, that’s okay, as long as I’ve got MY million,” replied the man.

“And what is your final wish?” asked the Genie.

The man thought long and hard, and finally said, “Well, you know,
I’ve always wanted to donate a kidney …”
