There was a man who had no wife, no child, no money, no home, a blind mother, in fact very poor. But one day he saw a magician who promised to grant him only one wish: Magician: Tell me one thing you wish, and I will do it for you now. Man: Ok. No problem, I have only one wish, I want my mother to see my wife carrying two of my kids in my Hummer jeep parked near the swimming pool in one of my many mansions situated in London city. On hearing this, the magician fainted.
