The Fairy げにおそろしき話 |
|
家人が発見したおそろしくもおもしろきジョーク。
60代はじめのカップルの結婚記念日の夜、レストランに妖精が現れて願いを叶えてやるというもの。普通願いを叶えるというジョークにはgenie(魔神)が出てくることが多いのですが、今回はそれなりに意味があるようで、それは最後のThe moral(教訓)に生かされています。
The Fairy
A married couple in their early 60s was out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, "For being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish."
"Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband" said the wife. The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II luxury liner appeared in her hands.
Then it was the husband's turn. He thought for a moment and said: "Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again. I'm sorry, my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me."
The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish....so the fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - the husband became 92 years old.
The moral of the story: Men who are ungrateful should remember fairies are female.
