Bill takes his girl's class on a picnic, and wishes the rain would stop. It does - all over Earth for weeks. He wishes back the rain. One wish left. His girl is irked by his "joking". He wishes he could show her - and he's transformed into an alien! He wishes it had never happened - and he's normal! Four wishes? No, he briefly had alien mental powers and could have wished for anything!
