What if a magic genie grant me a wish-LoH contest#292

Hi everyone!

(AI Generated image)

If I have a genie- LoH contest#292. First entry.

I know this can never happen, but imagine if genies were actually real. Imagine me wandering into a dusty old junk shop, picking up a dented brass lamp that looks like it hasn’t been cleaned since the time of Aladin of the Arabian Nights. I give it one casual rub, just to see if it’s worth selling as scrap and BOOM! A tornado of blue smoke shoots out like someone set off fireworks inside a pressure cooker.

Out of the swirling smoke, a genie appears. He is not a muscular Hollywood type genie. Rather, this one looks like he hasn’t slept in 500 years and desperately needs coffee. He bows dramatically (almost falling over) and says, “What do you wish to have, my master? I can fulfil only one wish.” His voice echoes like someone speaking inside a steel water tank.

Now, choosing one wish is torture. If I ask for money, I might end up rich but lonely, sitting in a golden palace with no friends except mosquitoes. If I ask for family, maybe money disappears and I spend my life paying electricity bills through credit cards and arguing with my employer for a salary hike. Everything in this world comes with a hidden side effect like buying a phone and discovering the charger is sold separately. Oops!

Human desires are endless. Give us one thing and we immediately want the next upgrade. So how can I settle for just one wish?

That’s when my genius brain lights up like a supernova explosion.

I tell the genie, “My wish is … give me another genie who can fulfil a hundred wishes.”

The first genie blinks. He did not see that coming. It was beyond his imagination that this may ever happen. But rules are rules. He snaps his fingers and suddenly a second genie appears. This one looks fresh and energetic, like he just came from a spa.

Now I have a genie who can grant a hundred wishes. The first genie sighs in relief, bows again and vanishes back into the lamp, probably to complain about me to his genie union.

Tell me, isn’t this the smartest way to exploit the magical world?

Sort:  

Thank you very much! I am very thankful to @ecency and you.

Haha, that's actually a brilliant loophole! The poor first genie definitely wasn't prepared for such clever thinking.

Hmmmm....I like it! Interesting play on the question! Thank you for your response and have a lovely day! !LADY

Nice try @erica005 but under International Genie Union rules, and yes there are rules in existence. Here under article 7. Various Chapters follow those basic rules and may vary depending on the cultural context 🤓😉

p.s. My wish is to live long enough to enjoy my grandchildren for at least a few years before I walk into the sunset.

😂 section 4 of the genie union law

That's a good wish you know

I know it is @afrikens

I tend write my Genie stories in a dead pan humor manner accented with a hint of cynicism.

"Thanks for the $425,000 dollars Genie but I wished for $1,000,000."
The Genie didn't answer right of away but wrote something on a paper pad before tearing it off and handing it to me with a smile. "Glad to be of service."
I looked at the paper, "A Tax receipt?"
"You're Canadian, and under Canadian tax law states that Genie wishes are Taxable income while lottery winnings are not." The Genie's face changed into a thoughtful expression. "When it comes Canada the paperwork is unbelievable. And that's why very few Genies take on Clients from there."
"But that's less than half."
"Sorry, I can change that. And also be aware that your cash will trigger a Bank report to FINTRAC and may freeze your accounts under Canadian Cash Laundering laws." A sly look came upon his eyes, his voice lowered into a cautious tone and placed an assuring hand on my shoulder,"Unless you wish for me to change your citizenship to either Singapore, Ireland, UAE... here's a list!"

😂😂 who are you exactly???? Like you got rolling with laugh over here

First is this paragraph 🤣🤣

Now, choosing one wish is torture. If I ask for money, I might end up rich but lonely, sitting in a golden palace with no friends except mosquitoes. If I ask for family, maybe money disappears and I spend my life paying electricity bills through credit cards and arguing with my employer for a salary hike.

And then your request comes in which I wasn't expecting as well let alone the genie 😂 and sure, the genie must report you to their union master 😂😂
