The genie comes to the man one night in his dreams. The genie says to the man, “You have lived like no other man; you have loved like no other man; and you have cared like no other man.
You have done well.”
The man wakes up the next morning and he doesn’t feel well.
He can’t explain it, but somethings not right. Weeks go by and the man’s condition seems to worsen.
His doctors cannot explain his rapidly deteriorating health.
The woman is always by his side when she’s not caring for his animals. The woman’s dog sleeps at the foot of his bed.
Never leaving.
At last, it seems like he cannot hold on for much longer. He’s barely able to speak at this point. He motions for the woman to come near.
He says to her, “Do you want to know why I fell in love with you all those years ago?
Do you want to know why I love you more and more every day?”
She says, “Yes, my love, tell me.”
With his final breath, he tells her,
“Because you make me feel like a kid again.”
