I found a lamp at a garage sale and took it home and was polishing it when suddenly a genie appeared and said he was granting me three wishes. Except I was skeptical because he didn't look like a genie. So my first wish was a test to see if he really was a genie. I said "If you're really a genie then my wish is for you to make an elephant appear out of thin air in my livingroom!"
Well he really was a genie because there was an elephant in my livingroom. A gigantic elephant that broke my overhead light when he appeared and who was really stinky and agitated. There was barely enough room for the genie and me and the elephant was acting wild and I was nervous he was going to knock over my entertainment center so I said "Okay, okay, you're a genie! Now for my second wish, get rid of this elephant!" And just like that the elephant was gone.
And then it dawned on me that I only had one wish left so I should make it a good one. I thought about it for several minutes and I realized all the money in the world couldn't reunite me with my elephant who I had really started to miss. So for my third wish I said "Okay, i wish the elephant was back but that he was the size of a dog."
Technically that's two wishes but I think the genie let it slide because he knew how much I missed my dog-sized elephant.
The End.
