A servants only wish is…?
Once upon a time, in the West Lake village, a servant lived with his master. After service of about 30 years, his master became ill and was going to die. One day, the master called his servant and asked him for a wish. It could be any wish but just one. The master gave him one day to think about it. The servant became very happy and went to his mother for discussion about the wish. His mother was blind and she asked her son for making a wish for her eye-sight to come back. Then the servant went to his wife. She became very excited and asked for a son as they were childless for many years. After that, the servant went to his father who wanted to be rich and so he asked his son to wish for a lot of money. The next day he went to his master and made one wish through which all the three (mother, father, wife) got what they wanted.
What did the servant ask the master?
The answer is “I wish for my mother to see her new grandson swing on a swingset of gold.” He wished for hi mother to see, for him to finally get a son, and his father to be rich.
This was solved by 2 people…

The servant would have to wish for his mother to be able to watch his new son playing with a pile of priceless jewels

Or the answer could be The servant said, “I wish for my mother to see her grandson swinging on a swing of gold.” (BUT I may have cheated but you won’t get me confessing to it
)

Hi Ashley!
Thanks for the comment! I haven’t heard of Skype. What is it for?
Great post. I think the most important thing is the servant’s mother health… but I’ll what the servant may have asked to the master and then I’ll let you know.

Aren’t you going to ask how I might have cheated?
If you leave a question in comment on this post I am notified and I will come back to answer.
Thanks also for linking to my post. Good way to let other bloggers know you are writing about them. If you are writing about a specific post they have written then a even better way is to link directly to the post URL (post address) as they will get a pingback (email) telling them you have written about them.
