An old lady is rocking away the last of her days on her front porch, reflecting on her long life, when—all of a sudden—a fairy godmother appears in front of her and informs her that she will be granted three wishes.
«Well, now,» says the old lady, «I guess I would like to be really rich.»
** POOF *** her rocking chair turns to solid gold.
«And, gee, I guess I wouldn’t mind being a young, beautiful princess.»
*** POOF *** she turns into a beautiful young woman.
«Your third wish?» asked the fairy godmother.
Just then the old woman’s cat wanders across the porch in front of them.
«Ooh—can you change him into a handsome prince?» she asks.
*** POOF *** there before her stands a young man more handsome than anyone could possibly imagine.
She stares at him, smitten. With a smile that makes her knees weak, he saunters across the porch in his catlike way and whispers in her ear, «Bet you’re sorry you had me neutered, aren’t you?»
