Once upon a time there was a little boy named Elvis who lived in a small town in Iceland. Little Elvis loved nothing more than to dig tunnels connecting from his house to other houses nearby.
During one of his tunneling adventures he stumbled into a small cavern filled with coconuts. At first the boy was puzzled as to why all these coconuts were there, but after picking one up
and smashing it on a rock in the cave he was shocked, the coconut was filled with all kinds of treasures, like gold and such. He didn't hesitate, he took a golden necklace that was in the coconut
and rushed to his friend's house, after his friend answered his frantic knock on the door, Elvis asked his friends wether or not he would be willing to trade his cat for the necklace.
Without a second thought his friend agreed to the proposition, Elvis was very happy he had the cat, for a few days the kid forgot all about the cavern as he played with his new cat,
they would play games where the boy would throw the cat into the air and then catch him and where the cat would chase him. But then Elvis remembered all the gold inside the cavern,
he quickly rushed down there again and opened another coconut filled with treasure, this one contained a diamond ring which he began wearing day to day.
The next time Elvis and his cat were out in public everyone on the street stared in awe at his beautiful ring, some would even ask if they could purchase it, but Elvis vehemently denied all offers for the ring.
That was until a homeless man begged Elvis for the ring, Elvis feeling a sense of pity for the man, gave him the ring, suddenly after the man started laughing, Elvis didn't know what to think
until suddenly the man turned into a genie and said : "Mr. Elvis you have passed my test and for this I shall reward you with 1 wish, What will it be?", Elvis thought for a moment,
he then said to the genie : "Mr. Genie I wish you would make a clone of myself." The genie answered: "So shall it be." Then he summoned a clone as Elvis had wished.
Shortly after he was summoned, Elvis said to the clone: Welcome me, shall we try to find 2 more rings in the cavern?" The clone said yes. And so they went back to the cave and searched the nuts.
The search went well as they had found a larger than normal coconut that contained a golden crown and one that contained a golden bracelet that Elvis and his clone really liked the look of.
The search continued to go well until the clone opened up one of the coconuts and activated a trap inside of it that immediately shot a poisoned dart into his throat, The clone fell to the ground.
Elvis rushed to his clones body and held him in his arms and asked him if he was alright, the clone answered:"No my twin I feel I am dying,Why did we have to go back into the cave we already had the cat it was more than enough
Elvis started tearing up at the loss of his clone, he said to the clone: " I wish I had wished for 2 clones instead of only 1." The clone smiled and then proceeded to draw his last breath and die."
The boy, shook from his experience inside the cavern swore off ever going in there again.The months after were tough on the boy,altough he still had the cat who proved a great help in comforting Elvis during these difficult times.
it was all very sad for him until one day he had an incredible realization he could go back into the cave, find another ring and give it to a genie and wish for 2 clones, Though he realized the risk he was taking
as the cavern was booby trapped he did not care, as he couldn't go back to living a life without a copy of himself, he entered the cavern once again and began his search.
As he cracked each coconut he began getting worried as none of them had any rings in any of them, then when he held the last coconut in his hands he prayed a small prayer before cracking it.
The Final coconut had another ring in it. Elvis overcome with joy sprinted back to where he had found the homeless man, the hobo quickly recognized him and said "Hello my dear friend Elvis."
An out of breath Elvis then said to him : "Please take this ring and make me 2 more clones Mr. Genie." The genie had a suprised look on his face and asked Elvis what had happened to his other clone.
Elvis told him what had happened, the genie nodded his head and made 2 more clones of Elvis and said:"Here you go my son now that will be 1 ring."He handed him the ring and everybody was happy."
Then Elvis and his 2 clones and cat skipped merrily along back home. Then after that the 3 amigos who all shared a deep love for tunneling all started digging tunnels further and further all around
It was a beautiful time where they would switch between playing with the cat and tunneling, and sometimes even tunneling with the cat. But soon they realised that there was nowhere left to tunnel.
All three saddened by this realization became very sad, until they all realized at the same time that they could learn to play football instead, and so they started attending football practice,
and quickly became the three best players in town, they were called The Triplet Trio and ended up being scouted by a talent agency for one of the worlds biggest teams. And off they went,
to become the three greatest football players this earth has ever seen, their unity on the pitch was completely unrivaled, and after a few years training at the teams academy they were called in with the head manager for the club.
The manager had a grim look on his face and said to the trio:"Listen im not going to beat around this bush,Only 2 of you are going to make it to the first team,you decide amongst yourselves who will get to play and who wont."
They were shocked at hearing this news and told the manager:"sorry Mr manager but either you sign all 3 of us or you sign none of us, and thats FINAL."The manager stood up from his chair and started staring out his window.
"I know what it's like you know....Having a clone."The trio asked him what he meant,"You see.... I also loved to tunnel in my younger years, and once I tunnel into a strange cavern containing all sorts of treasures and loot."
The triplets didn't know what to say to this,the manager continues:"After finding a valuable ring in the cave I went out and a hobo asked me for the ring, in a bout of pity I gave it to him, he then turned into a genie and gave me 1 single wish.
I of course wished for a clone of myself, me and my clone got along wonderfully, until that fateful day when he was attacked by a rabid cat. The cat clawed him in the eye and gave him rabies.
Then as I held my clone who was foaming at the mouth, I knew what I had to do, so I took out my knife and slit his throat, ending his suffering quickly, after that I went back into the cave and put a poison dart
into one of the coconuts so if anyone found the cave they would open a coconut and be shot with a poison dart and die, as dying would be preferrable to the pain of losing someone you care so deeply for.
and that is why I refuse to sign all three of you, I hate clones and knew you would say its either all three of you or none, get out of my office now.Elvis stood up and said: I lost a clone too you know
I lost him to a poisoned dart when I was looking for treasure with him,The manager was shocked at this revelation,:"But....""No but said Elvis I didn't give up on clones though,I went and found another ring and wished for 2 more clones.
The manager began to tear up:"ohhhh my goddddd" he said then he said: "Elvis im so sorry you and your clones can join the team no problems.."as the manager stood there weeping and staring out the window the trio celebrated
They had made the first team for one of the largest football clubs in the world and went on to win the treble multiple times, and the ballon d'or multiple years in a row, their reign over the football world was something to behold.
In the end they grew old and couldn't keep up with the new competition and decided to retire, content with their careers, they then wrote books about their experiences playing football and some about their love for tunneling.
They then all three died together in the same hospital room.
