When Karl arrived home his parents had already left for work. He should of been at school, but that was secondary when faced with the possibilities his new ill gotten stone offers. He immediately got to work trying to come up with how to improve his life. A classic would be to wish for wealth, but he wasn't sure how that wish would be granted. He started to think of all the ways he could obtain easy money, before settleling on a wish.
"I wish for good luck, such that when ever I engage in any activity that could reasonably be construed as gambling, I would come out ahead".
With that relatively simple wish out of the way, Karl was fairly certain that he never face any real financial hardship even if he never worked a day in his life.
With his financial needs taken care off it was time to have a go at his social situation. He imagined himself better looking, popular with the ladies but every time he did he was reminded of the assholes who would regularly bully him. While he was certain he would never take up their reprehensible habits, the thought that such a wish might make him "friends" with his tormentors made him feel sick.
Karl was stuck for he couldn't decide how to wish himself out of his "pathetic" life without joining the ranks of his tormentors. "Pfff... Seriously at this point should I just take a gamble and just make a nondescript wish?"
After uttering that sentence Karl paused. "Take a gamble? That might actually not be such a bad idea, what ever happens it should be better than my current life as per my previous wish."
"That settles it, I WISH..."
