When the medium arrived a few days later, she asked the parents to take her to the place where they had last seen their daughter. The mother and father took the medium to the park and watched her sit down on the grass, close her eyes, and do into a trance. Then she exclaimed, “Your daughter is alive! Her heart is beating and her lungs are breathing.” The happy parents held hands tightly. The mother asked, “But where is she now?” “She sees a luxurious house with expensive furniture,” the medium continued, “And only the most delicious food is in her stomach”. The mother breathed a sigh of relief again and pleaded, "But where is our daughter? Please tell us!" The medium hesitated for a while.

Then they suddenly understood what the medium meant and fell on the floor, crying bitterly. What happened to the girl?

She found her mom and dad sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast. The girl immediately regretted her wish. She rushed into the barn and began to rub the lamp. The genie appeared and said, "Well, are you happy now?" "Please cancel my yesterday’s wish," the girl pleaded. "I'm sorry," the genie replied. "But once a wish is made, I can’t cancel it."
