The Book of Virtues has a great short story but I can't think of the title. A young boy finds a magical silver ball and he is told that if he tugs on the string of the ball just a little bit that time will move a bit forward. At first he uses the ball to make the school day end sooner and later for things that he does not have any patience to wait for. Finally he uses it so much that much of his life has passed him by.

An older woman was cleaning her attic with her cat by her side for company. Amongst the boxes and old papers she found a little lamp. She picked it up and wiped it off with her apron, when "POOF" out popped Genie. "I will grant you three wishes" proclaimed the Genie.
The woman thought for a moment and said "I wish I was the most beautiful 20 year old woman in the world, I wish I had more money than I knew what to do with, and I wish you would turn my cat into the most handsome prince around."
The Genie nodded and after a huge cloud of dust cleared the Genie was gone and so was the lamp.
The woman looked at herself and she was certainly beautiful. She was surrounded with scads of money in large bills. She flung an armful in the air and watched it flutter down around her. She giggled with delight at the mountains of cash. Then she turned to look where her adoring cat once stood. There in the feline's place stood a tall dark, handsome man with chiseled features ~~ a washboard stomach, broad shoulders and a soccer-players-tush. She walked over to him, he put his arms around her brushed his hand upon her cheek, looked deep into her eyes and whispered softly.
"Now , aren't you sorry you had me neutered?"
