Meeting so many people and dealing with so many wishes, the genie got so tired!

Who doesn't know about Aladdin's magic lamp? Did anyone ever wonder what happened to that lamp after Aladdin? It went through many hands, granted many wishes and now reached the modern age. 

Meeting so many people and dealing with so many wishes, the genie got so tired! He thought of doing something wicked so that people will not want to ask for a wish in the first place. The genie made some successful attempts with his tricks. 

One day a man was walking along the beach when he tripped over the magic lamp. He turned around and kicked the lamp out of anger. A few seconds later, the genie popped out. The kick made the genie very irritated and he thought of taking revenge. 

Reluctantly, the genie said, "Even though you kicked me, I still have to give you three wishes. However, because of what you did, I will also give twice of what you wish for to the person you hate the most: your boss."

But the man agreed and made his first wish. "I want lots of money," he said. Instantly 22 million dollars appeared in the man's bank account and 44 million appeared in his boss' account.

For his second wish, the man wished for a couple of sports cars. Instantly a Lamborghini, Ferrari and Porsche appeared. At the same time two of each car appeared outside of his boss' house.

Finally, the genie said, "This is your last wish, you should choose carefully," and to this the man replied, "I've always wanted to donate a kidney..."
