Three friends were stranded on a deserted island. They found a genie lamp and rubbed it, and out came the genie.
The genie granted them each one wish.
The first friend said, "I wish to be rescued and taken back home." Poof! The genie made it happen.
The second friend said, "I wish to be rich beyond my wildest dreams." Poof! The genie made it happen.
The third friend said, "I'm feeling a little lonely now that you guys are gone. I wish you were back here with me!" Poof! The genie made it happen.
And that's how three friends ended up stranded on a deserted island with no way to escape.
