A lot of people wonder what it would be like to have three wishes that granted you anything. Just to see what would happen if you tried to wish on anything. But the wishes outcomes are not what they seem. In the movie Aladdin by “Disney” and “Monkey’s Paw” a short story by W.W.Jacobs the main characters have the power to be granted three wishes. These two stories are about making wishes that have some good outcomes and bad outcomes. They both make wishes on something and they lead to bad outcomes. At the end of both stories both of the characters learn a good lesson not to put their family or there life at stake.
1. Equally, theses stories have three wishes
2.Someone or something creating wishes.
