极有趣之极短篇

An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path, right? He wasn't certain
of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both where he was traveling to
and who he was. He'd sat down for a moment to rest his weary legs, and
suddenly looked up to see an elderly woman before him. She grinned
toothlessly and with a cackle, spoke: 'Now your *third* wish. What will it
be?'
'Third wish?' The man was baffled. 'How can it be a third wish if I
haven't had a first and second wish?'
'You've had two wishes already,' the hag said, 'but your second wish was
for me to return everything to the way it was before you had made your first
wish. That's why you remember nothing; because everything is the way it was
before you made any wishes.' She cackled at the poor berk. 'So it is that
you have one wish left.'
'All right,' said the man, "I don't believe this, but there's no harm in
wishing. I wish to know who I am.'
'Funny,' said the old woman as she granted his wish and disappeared
forever. 'That was your first wish.'
