You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

In the shop
There is a table with a sign saying
<strong>Free Sample:</strong>
Take one
On the table there is a fridge with a range of liquids. Also on the table are various magical trinkets including costumes. What would you like to take, or would you like to buy something?

You decide to get something else. But what?

A lamp
You take a lamp. Now what are you going to do with it?

Rub the lamp Version 2
Just then, a huge puff of green smoke appears.
The smoke forms the shape of a humanoid, then finally materializes into a turquoise-skinned man who appears to be about 25 years old. You quiver with fear, staring at him (after all, you're not used to seeing turquoise-skinned men appear out of lamps).
"Who has rubbed my lamp" the man asks in a light, yet stern voice.
"I-I did", you answer softly.
He steps closer to you and bows. "Thank You, Master, Thank You!", he says as he kneels to you.
"Master?"
He stands. "Yes", he says. "You have released me from the Lamp, and now you may have as many wishes as you want. The wishes carry certain limitations, however..."
"Yes, like what?", you ask again, almost bursting with excitement (having your own genie and all).
"First, you may only make a wish once every hour. Second, all wishes must remain in effect for at least 24 hours. Third, all wishes made by the master should be precisely worded.
If the wish is too vague, then I shall choose the remaining factors of the wish. Forth, I can not kill or bring someone back from the dead.
Finally I can not make anyone fall in love with someone else"
Well what are you going to wish for?

Cry Uncle and let slip the monkeys... that's not how it goes!
You scratch your head and ponder. Unlimited wishes? "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!" you exclaim.
Poof! suddenly you grow shorter, yuor arms grow longer, various parts swell and shink, and you get covered (almost) all over with thick black fur. Opening your mouth for a shout all that comes out is a surprised "Ook!"
The genie smiles and shakes his head. "Remember what I said about precise wording? Well, that should be it for now. See you later. Oh, and here's your niece. Have fun!"
And with that he is gone, just like that. Apparently the lamp is gone too, but after a frantic search you find it under the table. Hoping against hope you rub it frantically, but all that comes out is a small puff of green smoke that congeals into a set of glowing digits. They last just long enough for you to realize that they are counting down from an hour. Another attempt produces blue digits that seem to be stuck at 23:59. Counting down from a day?
Pondering what the genie said, you realize that the first digits show when you can make a wish again (but not cancel the one you just "made") and the other how long your first one will last...
"Ook!"
You didn't say that. Looking in the direction of the sound you see a small chimpanzee child (cub? whatever) standing where the genie disappeared, looking curiously at you. She (it's a female) skips closer, sniffs at you and jumps into your long arms to cuddle while making happy little chimpanzee noises. She must really like you!
Of course! The genie called her your niece, didn't he? So you are not only literally a monkey, but literally a monkey's uncle as well! For at least twenty-four hours. This is going to be soooo weird...
