Quote from nutmeg:
So the magic genie appeared to the trader and said, I'll grant you one wish"
The trader said "Hey, aren't you supposed to grant me 3 wishes?"
The genie replied "I already granted you 2 wishes, don't you remember? I granted your first wish and then for your second wish you asked if I could undo the first wish."
"Oh allright, if you say so. For my third wish, I would like to know why I'm a failure"
The genie said "That was your first wish."
