Genie in a bottle...

A man found a bottle with a cork. He opened the bottle and out came a genie. The genie said, "I will grant you only one wish. And, no more wishing for more wishes." The man had to think of a wish that would supply him for a lifetime. So he was able to think of a wish, and said, "I wish I have the Midas' touch." 

From that time forward...

...everything the man touches turns into a muffler.

(The man wanted the greek mythology Midas' touch: the touch that turns anything into gold. The genie was thinking of the Midas shop that sells mufflers. Silly old genie!)

Lloyd, Lumiere, and Li...

The foreman recruited Lloyd, Lumiere, and Li. 

Lloyd was ordered to continue shovelling the dug ground. Lumiere was ordered to wheelbarrow the rest of the shovelled dirt. Li was assigned to be in charge of the supplies. 

Hours later, the foreman noticed the ground wasn't dug any further since he last saw it. 

He called Lloyd then asked, "Why didn't you continue digging?" Lloyd replied, "The shovel is in the Supplies Room. I couldn't find Li to unlock the Supplies Room." 

The foreman noticed the mounds of dirt wasn't wheelbarrowed away. "Lumiere," said the foreman, "why didn't you wheelbarrow this dirt away?" Lumiere replied, "The wheelbarrow is in the Supplies Room. Li is in charge of the Supplies Room, but I also couldn't find him anywhere." 

Then...

...they all heard a high jump from one of the trees. Without skipping a beat, Li shouted, "SUPPLIES!"

(Um, "supplies" and "surprise" are two different words...)
