A Fisherman's Wish

In an isolated island where most people are fishermen, life was so hard. One morning near the shore, a genie from a floating lamp appeared before a hundred fishermen and asked each one of them for a wish. Everyone got his chance and had his wish. Ninety-nine fishermen asked for money, clothes, boats, houses, jewelries and other material things. For the one hundredth and last fisherman, he only asked for a tree -- a coconut tree. Floating lamp, above the surface waves Fishermen grump, under the water paves Impossible dreams, in any way unreachable Imagination streams, in every way achievable. (Prosebite)
