(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Two men were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape from a burning freight vessel¹. While rummaging² through the boat's provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie³ would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement⁴ of the castaways, a genie came forth⁵!

This particular genie, however, stated that she could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted⁶ out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!"

Immediately the genie clapped her hands with a deafening⁷ crash, and the entire sea turned into the finest brew⁸ ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously⁹, the genie vanished to her freedom. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull¹⁰ broke the stillness as the two men considered their circumstances. The other man looked disgustedly at the one whose wish had been granted.

After a long, tension-filled moment, he spoke¹¹:

"Nice going! Now we're going to have to pee in the boat."
