Description
An old man searches for an enchanted crystal that will grant four wishes. When he finds the curio shop owner that possesses the crystal, the owner does not wish to give it to him because the wishes turn against whoever wishes. The old man will not be denied, and pulls a gun firing a shot that wings the owner as he attempts to flee with the crystal. The old man mocks the fool as weak, since he has had years to think of wishes that could not possibly turn against him, he wishes to be twenty years old, a long life, freedom from imprisonment, and to be the richest man in the world. Since he did not specify which world, he finds himself a twenty year old man on the moon surrounded by gold bars.
