A man with a shoe box

[Sonyme]

A man with a shoe box under his arm walked into a pub, placed the box on the bar and ordered a whisky and a glass of water. While he was being served he opened the box reached in and fetched out a miniature grand piano he then reached in and brought out a miniature piano stool. He then drank the whisky, poured a little of the water into the now empty whisky glass and tapped the dide of the box.
A little mannikin no more than a foot tall climbed out of the box drank the water and sat an the stool and began to playbeautiful music - Greig Chopin Mozart played like a virtuoso.
The barman stood watching in amazement and finally said ''I have never seen anything like that in my life! where on earth did you find him?''
''Last year'' the man replied '' I was on holiday in Dubai and while walking near the sea one day I trod on somethin hard, I bent down and found an old sealed bottle. I opened the bottle and agreat column of smoke came out and turned into a bleddy great genie 40 feet tall. He bent down and picked me up and bellowed 'for 2 thousand years I have been imprisoned in that bottle and now I am free. For releasing me I will grant you one wish. Say the word and that which your heart most desires will be yours' ''
''What? '' said the barman '' and you wished for him?''
''No'' the man replied ''being in the bottle all that time had affected his hearing. He must have thought I said i wanted a 12 inch pianist''
