BREWING THE DAY

Two neighbours live side by side. One is rich and the other one is poor.

The poor neighbour has a magic lamp. Every morning, he rubs the lamp and a genie comes out and intones, “Ask whatever you want.” And the poor man asks for a cup of tea.

The rich neighbour, envious of the magic lamp, offers the poor man his magnificent house and flashy car in exchange for the lamp.

Gleefully, the rich man takes the magic lamp home and rubs it. Out pops the genie, who intones, “Ask whatever you want.”

“Can I have an even bigger house and an even better car?” asks the rich man.

“Sorry, sir, I only serve tea and coffee,” replies the genie.
