During the past week I was looking for a classic "fool" story to tell at April's First Friday Fling (which I'm just home from!)
In the end I told Silly Jack, but one of the ones I considered was the Three Wishes. You know... man gets 3 wishes. Wishes he has sausages for his tea by mistake. His wife gets on to him for wasting a wish and wishes it was stuck on to his nose and they have to use the last wish wishing it off his nose... Classic story :)
And best of all - I found this animated version of it on The Reading Bus web page:

I hadn't heard that story, but I've heard of other similar wish stories.
