The Perfect Brickie
February 2007
Two labourers and a bricklayer were digging a foundation trench for a house extension in Edinburgh. It was cold and wet and the work was hard when Fraser, the first labourer, unearthed an old silver lamp.
The men tried to clean it up to see what exactly it was and the second labourer, Alec, took an old rag and wiped the lamp. A genie suddenly materialized before their very eyes!
The genie spoke to them and explained that normally he gave three wishes to anyone who released him from the lamp but in this case since they were together he would give them one each - "Anything you want." He said.
Fraser thought for a while and then said to the genie that he wished he was in Barbados, that he was wealthy and that he was surrounded by beautiful women who adored him. In a flash his life was transformed and he found himself in the middle of his wish.
Alec went next, he said he also wanted to be wealthy and living in a castle in the Highlands with his wife but he also wanted to be surrounded by beautiful women who adored him and cared for him and his wife wouldn't mind. With another flash Alec's life was transformed and he was living his dream.
"Your turn Davy" said the genie to the bricklayer. Davy thought for a minute, screwed his face up a little bit and finally said to the genie "well there is still a load of work to do here, I wish Fraser and Alec were back helping me." - Flash!
