Situation: The Wish
One day, a man walking along a beach found a lamp. When he rubbed it, a genie appeared and said, “I will grant you one wish.”
The man thought for a moment and said, “I wish for a highway that connects here to Hawaii so I can drive there anytime.”
The genie frowned and replied, “That’s a huge request! The pillars, the concrete—it’s nearly impossible! Can’t you wish for something simpler?
”The man nodded and said, “Fine, I wish to understand how women think.”The genie paused, then asked, “Do you want that highway to be two lanes or four?”
What does the joke suggest about the man’s second wish?
It was easier to grant than the first one.
It was impossible to grant at all.
It was harder to understand women than to build a highway.
It was unrelated to the first wish.
How did the genie respond to the second wish?
The genie immediately granted the wish.
The genie refused to grant the wish.
The genie implied it was harder than the first wish.
The genie offered a different solution.
What was the man’s second wish?
To have a wife who understands him
To understand women’s thoughts
To travel to Hawaii for free
To make his first wish come true
Why did the genie hesitate to grant the first wish?
