If you're still around/interested, here you go:
Quote:
“An elderly man was sitting alone on a dark path, right? He
wasn’t certain of which direction to go, and he'd forgotten both
where he was traveling to and who he was. He'd sat down for a
moment to rest his weary legs, and suddenly looked up to see an
elderly woman before him. She grinned toothlessly and with a
cackle, spoke: ‘Now your third wish. What will it be?’ ”
“ ‘Third wish?’ The man was baffled. ‘How can it be a third
wish if I haven’t had a first and second wish?’ ”
“ ‘You've had two wishes already,’ the hag said, ‘but your
second wish was for me to return everything to the way it was
before you had made your first wish. That’s why you remember
nothing; because everything is the way it was before you made
any wishes.’ She cackled at the poor berk. ‘So it is that you
have one wish left.’ ”
“ ‘All right,’ said the man, “I don’t believe this, but there’s
no harm in wishing. I wish to know who I am.’ ”
“ ‘Funny,’ said the old woman as she granted his wish and
disappeared forever. ‘That was your first wish.’ ”

Note that I actually took this from the fan-made novelisation, but the novel's mostly transcribed text so it *should* be the same. If not, it's not noticibly different
