"Well, genie, I think I could wish to be strong," you say.
"Strong, master?" the genie asked with interest.
You dive into a few precisions. After all, genies can pretend to misinterpret wishes and can argue that their magic does a bit what it wants. Either way, they must have a good laugh at their masters-turned- victims. Better not take risk and act as if this once could be bad news. After all, he did seem rude towards you, his new master. On the other hand, you've got a genie in your possession and you won't pass up the opportunity to make wishes and after your life into a dream. And being strong sounds very good. You can become thew best player in your college! Get all the perks and huge advantages! And the girls will be rushing to date you! That'll be great!
"Yes! I wish to be as strong as a male gorilla. Not be one but just be as strong as one!"
There! Like that, you won't get changed into a gorilla. You look smugly at the genie, expecting the wish to unleash its magic. Ha! He might have thought you for a fool, but you've proven to him that you were smarter than him. The genie even smiles as he bows and executes your wish. Ha! He covers his wounded pride by pretending he's happy for you. Typical! You let the magic envelop you, happy to step into your new life about to start. Little did you know that the genie's smile was genuine and that he did find a loophole in your wish. But you should not feel bad. After all he's had centuries more of practise than you.
