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:

"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."

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."
