Old MacDonald had a farm. "A lot of work on the farm. If only I had a wife, she would help me," old MacDonald dreamed. Therefore, when he discovers that a small genie is hiding in his teapot, the first thing he asks the wizard is Mrs. MacDonald. Mrs. McDonald asks the genie for a baby, the baby asks for a puppy, who asks for a cat, who asks for mice. The mice ask for a soccer ball and a big loud whistle, and very soon the farm becomes unbearably noisy and crowded. Will the genie ever breathe freely again? Now, if there was someone who would fulfill his desire: after all, genies cannot wish anything for themselves - only for others.
