>>His horse has already died of thirst.

>>several yards ahead of him.
>>
>>He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers

>>looks to be an old brief case.
>>
>>He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie.

>>She is wearing an Inland Revenue ID badge and a dull grey dress.
>>
>>There's a calculator in her pocketbook. She has a pencil tucked

>>"Well, mate," says the genie... "You know how I work. You have

>>"My second wish is that I was rich beyond my wildest dreams."
>>
>>***POOF***

>>
>>The genie said, "OK, chum, you have just one more wish. Better make
>>it a
>>good one!"
>>
>>After thinking for a few minutes, the explorer says... "I wish that
