You don't see the results. Genie points out that house is microscopic since you did not specify size.    3) Your third wish is to be microscopic. So you enter the house and see that the house is fabulous. Then the cow steps on the house crushing it and kills you. Genie says I probably would have specified that the house is to be indestructible.
