Three wishes

A newly divorced woman is strolling along the beach, disappointed about how horribly the divorce settlement turned out for her.

As she’s walking, she spots an old lamp half buried in the sand. Hopelessly, she picks it up and rubs the lamp, and to her surprise, a genie appears!

The genie notices she is upset and lets her vent before proceeding to grant her three wishes. He, however, cautions her that he is not a fan of divorce, and will give her ex-husband ten times of whatever she wishes.

She winces, but asks for her first wish.
“I wish to have a billion dollars.”

Poof! The next second, mountains of crisp banknotes, amounting to a billion dollars, surround her. Her happiness is short-lived as the genie reminds her, “Your ex-husband now has ten billion dollars. Next?”

Her face has started to turn red, but she composes herself.
“I wish for a 25,000 sq ft private mansion on this beach.”

Instantly, a beautifully luxurious mansion, with all modern facilities, appears in front of her. Before she could revel in the joy, the genie pointed her in a direction, where to her horror, stood ten similar, magnificent mansions.

“Now, what’s your final wish?”

“I wish to give birth to twins.”
