Once, there was a young and poor shephard who lived in the fields with his 5 sheeps. Across the field lived his rich neighbour who he hated so much. They were often locked in an argument.
One night, the young shephard was taking a stroll in a nearby park after an argument with his neighbour, extremely frustrated. To vent his frustration, he kicked a stone with all his might which accidentally hit a magic lamp under a tree.
To his surprise, a genie emerged from it.
''Thank you for rescuing me. As your reward I shall grant you 3 wishes. However, your neighbour will receive twice of what you get.''
The shephard was at first rather doubtful of the genie. Nevertheless, he went back to his little hut to brainstorm his wishes.
The next day, he went back to the lamp in the park to meet the genie.
''I wish to have 3 huge houses of my own.''
The genie replied, '' You just wished for 3 huge houses and 3 of them you shall get.''
Much to his surprise, there were indeed 3 houses hust beside his hut, well furnished. Sure enough, there was 6 similar houses across the field. Still delighted, the shephard went back the next day and asked for 6 sports car. When he went back home again, 6 sports cars were parked beside his house and 12 were spotted across the field.
Down to his last wish, the shephard thought very carefully about it. He then made a prayer.
''Dear God, i am very thankful for the fortunate event you gave me. I shall then repay your kindness to me''.
The shephard then told the genie that he wanted to donate a kidney to the less fortunate. . .
