Be careful what you wish for
A married couple in
their early 60s were celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a
quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful
fairy appeared on their table and said: ‘For being such an exemplary
married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this
time, I will grant you each a wish.’
‘Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband,’
said the wife. The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two
tickets for the luxury Queen Mary II liner appeared in her hands.
Then it was the husband’s turn. He thought for a moment and said:
‘Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will
never come again. I’m sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife
30 years younger than me.’ The wife and the fairy were deeply
disappointed, but a wish is a wish... So the fairy waved her magic
wand and - poof ! - the husband became 92 years old.
The moral of the story: men who are ungrateful idiots should
remember that fairies are female. - Courtesy:
