One day, three men are stranded on a deserted island. They are desperate to find a way off the island, so they decide to pray for help. The first man says, "Dear God, please help us get off this island." Suddenly, a giant wave crashes onto the shore, and a magic lamp washes up at their feet.
Excitedly, the second man picks up the lamp and starts rubbing it. To their amazement, a genie appears and offers to grant them each one wish. The second man quickly says, "I wish to be back home with my family." In an instant, he disappears and reappears in his living room, hugging his wife and kids.
The third man, seeing what just happened, eagerly shouts, "I wish to be back home with my family too!" Poof! He vanishes and reappears in his own home, surrounded by loved ones.
Now alone on the island, the first man looks around and realizes he's the only one left. He starts feeling lonely and starts to panic. Then, he looks at the genie and says, "I wish my friends were back here with me. I'm so lonely without them!"
