Lucky Thirteen

 

A couple in their mid-sixties was celebrating their fortieth wedding anniversary in a quiet restaurant. Suddenly – POOF! – a tiny fairy appeared in the middle of their table. “You’re such a lovely couple,” she exclaimed. “I’d like to give each of you a single wish.” The wife knows exactly what her wish will be. “I’ve always wanted to travel the world with my darling husband,” she said. The fairy waved her magic wand and – POOF! – in the wife’s hands were two tickets to an around-the-world cruise. The fairy turned to the husband. “Well, this is all very romantic,” he said. “But a chance like this doesn’t come by every day. I’m sorry, but my wish is to have a wife who’s thirty years younger than me.” The fairy looked genuinely disappointed, but a wish is a wish. She waved her magic wand and – POOF! – the husband was suddenly ninety-two years old. – Author Unknown
