Granny's Three Wishes
An
old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch, reflecting
on her long life, when--all of a sudden--a fairy godmother appears in
front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.
"Well, now," says the old lady, "I guess I would like to
be really rich."
*** POOF ***
Her rocking chair turns to solid gold. "And, gee, I guess I wouldn't
mind being a young, beautiful princess."
*** POOF ***
She turns into a beautiful young woman.
"Your third wish?" asked the fairy godmother. Just then the
old woman's cat wanders across the porch in front of them. "Ooh--can
you change him into a handsome prince?" she asks.
*** POOF ***
There before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly
imagine.
She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he
saunters across the porch and whispers in her ear:
"Bet you're sorry you had me neutered."
