Once upon a time, an American, a German, and a Chinese person found themselves stranded on a deserted island. As they explored the island, they stumbled upon a mysterious cave. Inside the cave, a magical genie appeared.
The genie granted each of them one wish. The American, being patriotic, wished to be transported back to the United States. In an instant, he vanished from the island.
The German, with a love for efficiency, wished to be back in Germany. Poof! He disappeared, leaving only the echo of his efficiency behind.
Now, it was the Chinese person’s turn. The genie asked, “What is your wish?”
The Chinese person looked around the deserted island, smiled, and said, “I’m feeling lonely here. I wish my American and German friends were back with me.”
And just like that, the American and the German reappeared on the island. The three friends, now united, decided to explore the island together, grateful for each other’s company.
The moral of the story: Sometimes, unity and companionship are the greatest wishes of all.
