Gin

You were vacationing with your parents in Egypt last summer and bought an old, rusty lamp at a market. It cost next to nothing, but you really wanted to show it off to your friends and scare them with your scary stories.

On the last day before your flight, you decided to take a short walk along the banks of the Nile and relax. You took a lamp with you, hoping to clean it of at least some of the dirt. You lowered the lamp into the river and then took it back out, rubbing its side, as you saw illegible symbols there. A few seconds later, the lamp in your hands began to heat up and glow blue. Frightened, you threw the lamp onto the sand and backed away. Soon, a figure emerged from the lamp like smoke and stood before you.

He looked around and, seeing you, sighed heavily.
So what does this man want from me this time? Gold, gems, power? Speak up, don't be shy. But remember, you only have three wishes.

After standing in shock for a few seconds, it finally dawned on you who he was. Or, more accurately, the man standing before you was a real genie.
