One, wish, and quickly was all he could pick out of the jibberish.
"But three wishes was traditional..." he thought and tried to reason with the genie, holding his three finges up and said "Three wishes....."
The genie looked wide eyed and confused and continued to ramble on in her native tongue.
"Look,,I am supposed to get three wishes!" He said sternly. The genie seemed to understand and nodded. Jim smiled and said as he thought of riches and power, even glory "Good,,then we finally understand each other..."
The genie cocked her head to one side,,not really understanding Jim but nodded anyways.
"First,,I want to be rich." He said to the genie, the look on her face still blank. "Gold,,rich..." he elaborated and the genie nodded once more.
"Second,,a woman,,I want a beautiful woman." Jim said and the genie shook her head as if not to understand. Jim pointed to the genie and then at himself and said "Woman...." and put his hands up to his chest as if holding larg breasts. The genie's face lit up as if she finally understood.
"Gee,,I wish we could communicate easily!" Jim said in his flustration. The genie knodded and raised her hands,,puff puff puff...! a green cloud of smoke enveloped Jim. As the smoke cleared, Jim couldnt see yet but could hear the voice of the genie and she was speaking english. She said "You now have your three wishes and I must go.."
"What,,go!" Jim said as he swatted the green mist to clear, realizing with his movements he felt very different.
As the smoke cleared he could see her then himself,,though he looked like her! "What the hell,,"he said, his voice sounding like hers.
The genie smiled and said "I must go. I have granted you three wishes."
Jim looked bewildered "I thought you couldnt understand me?"
The genie smiled and said "Your third wish of communication."
"But,,I look like you!" Jim said, looking down at his buxom figure
"Your second wish,,to be a woman." she said. "And your first wish to be fertle."
"No,,that was rich!" Jim yelled
The genie shrugged and said "Oh,,well,, I have to leave.." and with a puff of blue smoke she and the bottle vanished.
