Aladdin and the Status Quo

Aladdin rubs the lamp, genie appeared:

Genie: “What can I do for you master?”

Aladdin: Solve the electricity problem.

Genie: Please don’t ask me something too hard. Make any other wish please.

Aladdin: I want to marry Jasmine, the king’s daughter.

Genie: Master; all is exaggerated about her; she is not at all beautiful. And secondly, her parents want a boy who can get settled abroad after marriage.

Thirdly, they want a very wealthy boy for her. Make some other wish please.

Aladdin: Bring the prices down: inflation is too high and reaching its peak.

Genie: I am a genie and not an economist. I never knew that the coming times would be that hard. I would have done my graduation from some good institute.

Aladdin: I want a beautiful palace constructed on this land.

Genie: The CDA may not approve it and may demolish it afterwards; therefore, I cannot take the risk.

Aladdin: What kind of a genie are you? You cannot fulfill even a single wish.

Genie: I pertain to the old times. Modern man has so many problems that I cannot solve. They will have to

solve their problems themselves, instead of waiting for genies to help them.
