It was a scorching day in the barren desert and three young women – a blonde, a redhead, and a brunette – were completely lost.
Their water supplies had long since dwindled, and the relentless sun beat down mercilessly, sapping their strength and resolve.
Just when the trio thought all hope was lost, one of them happened to spot a curious-looking lamp half-buried in the sand.
“Hey, look!” the redhead exclaimed, her tired eyes lighting up. “That looks like an old genie lamp. Maybe there’s a genie inside who can help us!”
The other two women perked up at the suggestion, and together they carefully uncovered the lamp and began to rub it.
To their amazement, a puff of vibrant blue smoke suddenly erupted from the spout, and a booming voice echoed around them.
“You have summoned me, the great genie of the lamp! For freeing me from my eternal prison, I shall grant each of you one wish. What is your heart’s desire?”
The redhead stepped forward first, her expression resolute.
“Oh mighty genie, I wish to be back home, safe and sound!” she declared.
“So be it!” the genie thundered, and with a snap of his ethereal fingers, the redhead vanished in a dazzling flash of light.
Next, the brunette confidently made her request.
“Genie, I wish to be reunited with my family at home,” the brunette said.
“Your wish is my command!” the genie boomed, and in an instant, the brunette too had disappeared.
Having seen her two friends disappear and suddenly feeling very much alone, the blonde blurted out:
“Oh dang, I wish my two friends were here with me again!”
