Answer: I do not know if this is a multiple-choice question or not, but the poor man asks the traveler for eternal happiness, health for him and for his wife, and their daily bread. As per the suggestion of the traveler, he also wishes for a beautiful new house.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is a moving and inspirational story about a rich man who does not want to offer his help to a traveler (the Lord) and a poor man and his wife who go out of their way to help him unselfishly, and that, for that reason, are granted three wishes. When the greedy rich man hears that the poor man has been granted three wishes, and a new house to replace the old hut where he lived, he decides to amend his mistake and convince the traveler that he too would have helped him, but by then it is too late. Due to his insistence, the Lord grants him three wishes, but they only bring him and his wife trouble and annoyance.
