The wizard says “Well, I’m tired of copying all my spells down on scrolls.  I wish I could find a way to scribe a lot of scrolls without actually doing it myself.”“Your wish is my command,” said the genie, who waved his hand and a door appeared in the wizard’s study.  The wizard opened the door and saw a vast room filled with monkeys writing things on parchment.  The wizard asked “What is this?”   The genie replied “It’s a room of infinite monkeys writing scrolls.  Not everyone will be a gem, but you should get plenty of magical scrolls from this.”   “Wow, thanks genie” said the wizard and the genie returned to the magical lamp.After a while, the wizard had piles of scrolls, but he didn’t have time to sort out the good from the worthless, so he called on the genie again.  “Master, you have two more wishes left,” said the genie.  The wizard says “I wish I had a way to sort through all these scrolls easily.”  The genie replied “Your wish is my command” and another door appeared.  Behind that door was another room filled with monkeys, each had a wand.  They began grabbing piles of scrolls, and sorting them using the wand.  The wizard examined one of the smaller piles and said “wow, this great.  It’s a scroll of polymorph.””Thanks genie, but I have to ask, what’s with the monkeys?” asked the wizard.  The genie replied, “Well, the gods think that wishes are so powerful, that they want them twisted in some foul way.  I don’t like that, so I try to do it as simply as possible.  There’s nothing worse than a room full of monkeys, so I like to use them.”  The wizard nodded and said “Interesting.  I wish I could find an easy way to experiment with wishes, this is fascinating.”   The genie grimaced and waved his hands.  A third door appeared in the wizard’s study and the lamp and the genie disappeared.  The wizard opened it to find a bunch of monkeys waiting in line.  The first one in line had the lamp, and was rubbing it, made 3 wishes with the genie, and then moved on, letting the next one in line do the same. As the monkeys continued, the constant wishing tore at the fabric of reality till it was ripped apart, and everything swirled into the wizard’s tower in a huge implosion of all things.  When the blast had settled, the wizard was left in the room with the genie and all the monkeys they’d summoned.“What happened?” asked the wizard. The genie replied “To fulfill your wish, I made a room full of an infinite number of monkeys to make three wishes each.  Unfortunately, it was too much for the world to take, so it looks like it destroyed everything.”  “So we’re stuck here forever now?” Asked the wizard, and the genie nodded.  The wizard sighed and said “Well, you were right about one thing.  There’s nothing worse than a room full of monkeys.”</blockquote>
