The genie is grateful to the woman for freeing him from the lamp, and to thank her he tells her he will grant three wishes. The woman thinks for a minute and says, "I would like to be young and beautiful again." The genie says, "Done," and instantly the woman is young again and even more beautiful than she once was. "What else?" says the genie. "Well, now that I'm young again I'll need enough money to keep me going for another fifty or sixty years." "You got it," says the genie. The woman looks around and sees that her house has been turned into a mansion, her handbag is overflowing with $100 bills, and her cheap costume jewelry has been turned into diamonds and emeralds. "You have one more," the genie says. The woman says, "Well, for years I've been living alone in this house with nobody to keep me company but my old cat." She points to the cat and says to the genie, "Can you turn him into a handsome young man?" "Of course," says the genie, and waves his hand at the cat, who immediately is transformed into the the most gorgeous hunk the woman had ever seen. She is overwhelmed, and reaches for the man's hand. The handsome young man takes her in his arms and whispers tenderly in her ear, "Now aren't you sorry you took me to the vet that time?"
