The Genie's Wish | 精灵的愿望

点击查看中英对照

A couple was golfing on an exclusive course lined with million-dollar homes. On the third tee, the husband warned his wife, "Be careful when you drive. Don't break a window; it'll cost a fortune."

The wife teed up and shanked the ball right through the window of the largest house.

Cringing, the husband said, "I told you to watch out. Let's go apologize and see what it'll cost."

They knocked on the door. A voice called, "Come in." Inside, they saw shattered glass and a broken bottle in the foyer. A man on the couch asked, "Did you break my window?"

"Yes, we're very sorry," the husband replied.

"Actually, I want to thank you," the man said. "I'm a genie trapped in that bottle for a thousand years. You've freed me. I can grant three wishes. I'll give you each one and keep the last for myself."

"Great!" said the husband. "I want a million dollars a year for life."

"Done," said the genie, turning to the wife. "And you?"

"I want a house in every country," she said.

"Consider it done," replied the genie.

"What's your wish?" asked the husband.

"After a thousand years trapped," the genie said, "I haven't been with a woman. My wish is to sleep with your wife."

The husband looked at his wife. "Well, we did get a fortune and all those houses. I guess I don't mind."

The genie took the wife upstairs. Two hours later, he rolled over and asked her, "How old is your husband?"

"Thirty-five," she replied.

"And he still believes in genies?" the genie said. "...That's amazing."
