7. Be careful of what you wish for

A couple had been married for 35 years and were celebrating1 their 60th birthdays, which fell on the same day.

During the celebration a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple for all 35 years, she would give them one wish each.

The wife wanted to travel around the world. The fairy waved2 her wand3, and Boom! She had the tickets in her hand.

Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, and then said shyly, "Well, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me."

The fairy picked up her wand, and Boom! He was ninety.

Notes:

1. celebrate 庆祝

2. wave 挥动，挥舞

3. wand 棍，棒

小心你所许的愿

一对夫妻已经结婚35年了，在同一天，他们也在庆祝自己60岁的生日。

在欢庆仪式上，一位仙女出现并说因为他们如此恩爱了35年，她决定满足他们每人一个愿望。

妻子说想周游世界，仙女挥动魔棒，“砰”的一声响，妻子手上就捏着周游世界的票了！

接着，轮到丈夫了。他停顿了一会，接着害羞地说道：“呃，我想要一个比我年轻30岁的女人。”

仙女拿起她的魔棒，“砰”的一声响，他变成了90岁。
