The genie in the magic lamp story has been the favorite of many people growing up. But as time passed by, the genie got lazy and decided to grant only one wish. Here's what happened when two people found a magic lamp and made their wishes.

He rubbed the lamp, and an enchanted mist started flowing out of the lamp. The mist materialized into a genie.

THE GENIE THAT GRANTS A WISH

The genie looked at the man and said, "you've awoken me from my slumber. I will grant you one wish." The man was confused and asked, "The genie in the story granted three wishes. Why am I getting just one?" The genie let out a sigh and said:

"That was a long time ago, and I don't have time to stick around everyone for an adventure of saving princesses and defeating bad guys. You want the wish or not?"

"Okay, okay!" the man stuttered. But before the man could make his wish, the genie stopped him and said, "You have three choices. Be the richest in the world, the wisest, or the most popular."

A DIFFICULT CHOICE TO MAKE

The man thought about all the possibilities and said, "We all know that money does not bring happiness, and that popularity just makes you a slave to the whims of others, but wisdom is everlasting. I want to be the wisest man in the world."

"Your wish is my command," the genie said as he granted the wish and disappeared with the lamp. The man fell on his bottom, rubbed his chin, and said, "I should have taken the money."

THE LAMP ENDS UP AT ANOTHER BEACH

At dusk, a woman was talking a stroll at the beach and stubbed her toe on something made of metal. After letting out some screams, she looked down and noticed the same lamp.

She immediately got excited and rubbed the lamp. To her astonishment, a genie popped out and said, "You've awoken me from my slumber. I will grant you one wish."

Without a second of thought, the woman pulled out a map and said, "I want there to be peace between these countries," as she pointed to the middle east.

THE GENIE PEACE PROJECT

The genie looked at the map, used his powers to look into the past and said, "These countries have been at war for thousands of years, bringing peace to them would mean changing their sense of freedom and equality. I don't have the power to change the perspective of so many people." The lady sighed and immediately said:

"Well, I haven't found love in my life. You know, someone that's considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the housecleaning, is good in bed and gets along with my family, doesn't watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That's what I wish for… my perfect mate."
