Be Careful What You Wish For | 许愿需谨慎

English Original

A couple, married for 25 years, was celebrating their shared 60th birthday.

During the festivities, a fairy appeared. "For being such a loving couple," she said, "I grant each of you one wish."

The wife wished to travel the world. The fairy waved her hand—Boom!—and plane tickets appeared in the wife's hand.

Then it was the husband's turn. After a thoughtful pause, he said shyly, "I'd like a woman 30 years younger than me."

The fairy raised her wand—Boom!—and the husband turned ninety.

一对结婚25年的夫妇正在庆祝他们共同的60岁生日。

庆祝活动中,一位仙女出现了。她说:“为了表彰你们如此恩爱,我赐予你们每人一个愿望。”

妻子希望环游世界。仙女挥了挥手——砰!——机票就出现在了妻子手中。

接着轮到丈夫。他沉思片刻,害羞地说:“我想要一个比我年轻30岁的女人。”

仙女举起魔杖——砰!——丈夫变成了90岁。
