benny and the genie

Tweet

(i summarized this) Benny, a museum cleaner, was polishing an ancient uyrn when the genie appeared, "Master, I can grant you three wishes with one condition. You must not shave your beard or else you will be forced to take my place inside the urn forever." Benny agreed and wished for 49 percent of the total Microsoft stock, the most beautiful woman, and fame and fortune. He was granted with all these. Over the years, Benny's beard became longer until it almost reached the floor and itchy so he shaved it off. He was trapped in the urn forever. What is the moral lesson of the story? A Bennt shaved is a Benny urned. From Cebu Daily News 08/08/10
