Oh, you silly closed minded human being. Of course I read fairy tales. If I didn't then I wouldn't have known that three wishes is a really bad idea, and thusly wouldn't have increased the number to four.
Wish #1 is always a 'test wish'. Once the genie pops out of the lamp or wherever genies like to go around popping out of these days, the subject is in shock, and uses this wish to see if the genie is actually making a serious offer, or if he's just being messed with. So he'll wish for something silly, like "I wish that I had a million dollars!", "I wish that big zit on my nose would disappear" or even "I wish my feet no longer smelt of onions!" (Hey, you never know. Sometimes you just have one of those days.)
Then it's time for Wish #2, where the wisher realizes that he can basically have anything in the world he wants. Just one wish and...
POOF!
His life is perfect. Everything is going just swimmingly, there are rainbows and sunshine and a few musical numbers involving animated disney animals and singing princesses...
...when suddenly we come upon THE CLIMAX, in which all of the rainbows are replaced my rain clouds, and as a result of Wish #2, everything goes horribly wrong.
Therefore, the wisher is forced to use Wish #3 to fix it. How convenient! An important lesson has been learned by all, be careful what you wish for!
And that, right there, is why you need Wish #4. So after you learn your lesson, you can reward yourself for all the hard work you did, and actually get something out of the situation. ;)
Hey, my friend wrote a story like that...Although, it was an adaption of another fairy tale about a leprecaun. basically, there were 2 pandas (he was kissing up to the panda loving teacher) who were married. The husband found a bamboo spirit who granted them 3 wishes. After arguing about what to wish for, the husband wished that his wife couldn't talk. So she got really mad and used hand gestures and slapped him. So he wished she was stuck outside. But then he felt bad, so he wished that everything was back to normal. The end.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so true! I never thought about it that way...
