(Though, if you read the book you'll see that it's very possible that it was stolen from Borges... either that or Borges snuck in through a window at night and whispered the story into the author's sleeping ear.)

I know which one it is! I do, I do. What's my prize? A copy of Jumanji (the game, not the book or movie)?

I'd be too chicken to play Jumanji.
