     One day a farmer was walking through the woods, when he came upon
a furry animal caught in a trap. Being the kind soul that he was, he
pryed open the trap to set the animal free. Well, to his shock and
surprise the furry animal stood up, introduced himself as an elf and
granted the farmer one wish.

     A year later in a nightclub, the star attraction is none other
than the farmer. He walks on stage, opens his suitcase and a little
ten inch man jumps out. Next the farmer pulls out a miniature grand 
piano, which the ten inch man sits down to play. The little man plays
beautifully and at the end of his concert is given a standing ovation.

     Later on backstage, the farmer is talking to a reporter. "Where
did you find that ten inch pianist" he inquires. "Well", the farmer explains
his meeting in the woods, "I wished for something else, but the elf
was a little hard of hearing".
