The Three Wishes
A little old lady was sitting in front of the fire with her favourite tomcat on her knee.
Suddenly, there was a bright flash, a loud bang and a fairy appeared out of the fire.
“Little old lady”, she said, “I can give you three wishes; what would you like?”
When she had recovered from the shock, the little old lady said, “First, I would like to be financially secure and live in a nice house for the rest of my life.”
The fairy waved her magic wand and the room was transformed into a luxurious drawing room, and on the table were sacks of gold.
“Next wish, please”, said the fairy.
Please make me young and beautiful”, said the little old lady, and she was immediately turned into a glamorous blonde.
“For my third wish, will you please turn my tomcat into a handsome young man?”
Immediately, standing before her was a fine specimen of manhood, who stepped forward and took the lady’s hand and kissed it, saying “Aren’t you sorry now that you had me seen to by the vet?”
