The Wish
A couple of Villagers in their early 60s were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary with a romantic dinner at Mezza Luna.
Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared at their table. The fairy said, “For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will now grant you each one wish.”
The wife answered, “Oh, I want to cruise around the world with my darling husband.”
The fairy waved her magic wand and – poof! - two tickets for a cruise around the world on the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.
The husband thought for a moment. “Well, this is very romantic and all, but an opportunity like this will never come again.” Turning to his wife, he said, “I’m sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife that's 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.
