Text
There was an old couple who are in their early sixties celebrating their 40 years of marriage. They were Joseph and Beth. The couple are eating dinner in a fine dining restaurant.

While they were eating dinner, a little fairy named Catherine appeared to Joseph and Beth. Catherine told the old couple that she would grant each of them a wish.

Beth went first. She asked Joseph if they could go to Paris. Catherine gave Beth and Joseph flight tickets to Paris. Beth was happy.

Joseph, who was not really appreciative, asked Catherine for a wife who was thirty years younger than him.

Beth and Catherine were disappointed with his request. Instead of giving Joseph a younger wife, Catherine turned him into a 90-year-old man.

Catherine disappeared after that. Joseph kept calling Catherine but she did not return. He eventually apologized to Beth, but she did not notice him. Joseph was left alone.

Months later, Joseph was dying. Joseph said everything he wanted to say to Beth and she finally accepted his apology and he died in her arms.

Minutes later, Catherine returned and gave him a second chance. Beth and Joseph eventually celebrated their 45th anniversary and stayed married until he died again.
