It was a sunny day

It was a sunny day. The old man packed up his fishing gear early in the morning and prepared to set out. He had only gruel when he left, but that was enough for him. The old man went out of his house, looked into the warm sun and prayed, "God! Please help me return home today!" Then he sat down in his shabby boat and sailed against the waves. At noon, the weather suddenly changed. The sky was dark and cloudy, and the wind was howling on the sea. The big waves hit the old man's boat again and again. The storm lasted all afternoon, and by the time it was over, night had fallen and the old man was adrift in the middle of the sea, looking around without a light. He took the matchbox from his pocket, but it was already wet with water. The old man was cold and hungry, and his years of experience had taught him that if he kept calm and persevered, he could avoid death.

The moon was out, casting a bleak light on the rippling sea. The old man looked at the vast night sky and prayed to God to help the poor old man. Just then, a meteor fell from the sky, "splash" into the water, the spray attracted a school of fish. The old man immediately recovered his spirit, he held the last ray of hope, cast the net, hoping to have a good harvest, with great effort, but the bamboo basket water in vain, only one object. In the moonlight the old man could see that it was a fine cosmetic case, set with glittering stones. The old man was a little perplexed by his windfall. His eyes glowed with excitement, and he exclaimed, "Well, I'll hurry home early in the morning and bring this precious thing to my wife. She'll be delighted. Thank God, I finally have a chance for you to repair my years of regret!" "The old man said as he carefully opened the dressing box. For a moment, a dazzling light with the opening of the makeup box flew out, straight into the sky. The old man, stunned by the sudden occurrence, sat down and stared at the strange light without moving.

Gradually the old man saw a giant - like spirit. The elf roared with a roar that shook the earth as though it were venting its long-simmering anger; Then, the spirit enjoyed a stretch, soothing the long numb muscles. For a long time, the elf only low ten thousand this skinny old man. The old man came back to his senses and asked the elf with fear, "You... Who are you? Why... Hide it in the makeup box?" The genie respectfully said: "Old man, I am hundreds of millions of years ago, because of evil, God confined in this has the magic of the makeup box, destined to be in hundreds of millions of years before a good person put out. Now it seems that my savior is you! In return for your kindness to me, allow me to grant you three wishes." The old man was a little flattered and said shamefully, "I am an old man. What more can I expect? But there's one person I've wronged more than any other in my life, and that's my wife. She hasn't had a good day since she married me, and now I must make up for my regrets. Leave the three wishes to her. ' The spirit could not understand the human friendship, and though he felt a sense of injustice, it was his benefactor's will, so let him.

The next morning, when the weather was fine again, the old man and the elf sailed back to the rat-hole home. The old man's wife, who was mending his clothes, saw him come home in a state of discomfited and must have returned empty-handed. She was about to explode when the genie floated in and scared the hell out of the wife. The old man explained the whole thing, and the wife was instantly overjoyed. She thought: God has eyes, finally give me a compensation, I will lose no time to vent out my desire from the bottom of my heart! So the old man's wife pointed to the genie and said, "I want you to make me a lady and live in a beautiful castle." As soon as he said this, the old man's shabby home was transformed into a splendid castle. The old man's wife, dressed in luxurious clothes, sat on a chaise longue and enjoyed the fine food served by the servant. After a while, the wife's thoughts expanded and she said to the genie again, "I want to be queen of this country and rule it all!" The genie hesitated for a while, but in order to free himself as soon as possible, had to agree to his wife's unreasonable requirements. Overnight, the old man's wife became the queen of the country and enjoyed the worship of the people. Ever since the old man's wife came to the throne, she has bullied and exploited the people. The people did not dare to be angry, but endured. Finally, the old man's wife became more presumptuous, and the desire of her heart grew beyond the endurance of the people. She wanted to rule the whole world! The genie listened and hesitated, but the woman with the heart threatened the genie: "Don't you forget! If you do not grant your benefactor three wishes, you will never be free, and will always be back in the dressing box!" The genie could do nothing but agree.

Just as the woman was about to become king of the world, there was a thunderclap, a loud rumble followed by a powerful flash of lightning. God came down to earth with an angry face and that magic dressing box in his hand. He pointed to the old man's wife and the genie and said angrily, "You two sinners know sin? !" They both knelt down and begged for mercy, cold sweat running down their faces. God looked at the woman and said, "You are an ordinary woman. You should not care so much. Now, your thoughts almost endanger the whole world. To punish you, go back to your old house and do your duty!" "With that, God turned his head to the genie:" Genie, although when you are rescued to fulfill the benefactor three wishes can be completely free, but you for selfish desires, even regardless of the safety of the world's people, it is hateful, punish you back to the box never have to turn over! With that said, the spirit floated into the makeup box dejected and flew with God to heaven. But no one knows, when God flew into the air, the hand of a makeup box thrown into the sea. And that makeup case, forever sleeping in the cold deep sea.

Then, the old man and his wife returned to the shabby home, to continue to live the old life.
