One Wish A Day,

The voices of two people came to my ears. I was too far away to really hear what they were saying as I got closer I saw two people a man and a woman. The couple were in a loud conversation and did not seem to worry that they could be overheard. I slowly approached them and so that they could not see me I performed a little trick that I had learned from the Fairies. I moved to an oak tree and merged myself into the tree’s bark. I became a part of the tree.

The couple were waiting for someone and it soon became clear that each were waiting for a wish to be granted. They spoke of other wishes that they had made. How rich they were, how beautiful and how handsome the couple now were, for weeks every day each had made a wish, which was granted. I was now very interested and decided to stay with the tree to see who it was that could grant so many wishes.

The tree had made me very comfortable in its bark and I was in danger of dropping off into a deep sleep. To stop myself from falling asleep I repeated to myself the numbers from one hundred down to one and then back again. If I forgot a number I started all over. The couple were still talking about what wish they would ask for today. The woman said,” I want blue eyes from today not these brown ones from last week.” The man was just as stupid and said, “I want an egg for my breakfast every day not a sausage.” The wishes were getting more and more silly as the time went past.

Then in a flash of blue light and a puff of smoke Her Majesty Queen Feeana appeared and in a tired voice asked the two what wish they wanted. Now this really did surprise me Her Majesty granting these two silly people a wish each day. Something was definitely wrong. I decided to stay hidden in the tree’s bark to see if I could find out what the couple had, that made the Queen grant them a wish each, every day. “I wish for an egg for my breakfast every day.” Said the man. “I want blue eyes from now on.” Said the woman. The Queen Feeana tiredly waved her magic wand and then disappeared the way she had come.

The man boasted to the woman that they could have any thing they wanted. They only had to come to the woods and wait for the queen and each wish would be granted. Then he boasted that as long as they had the Queen’s magic ring she would have to grant them a wish each day. If only the Queen knew that the ring was now lost and that they did not have it any more. The pair then ran off laughing into the woods.

I went to see Her Majesty Queen Feeana and told her my story of what I had seen and heard in the woods. Her Majesty was very angry indeed to know that she had been made a fool of. Waving her magic wand the two suddenly appeared before Her Majesty. “I will grant you no more wishes for it has come to my ears that you no longer have the Queens magic ring.” “What do you have to say for yourselves?” The man tried to tell Her Majesty that they still had the ring, the woman being as silly as the man told the Queen the same story they still had the ring. “ Show me the ring if you still have it said Her Majesty in a very angry voice. The two could only stutter and it soon came out of them that they had foolishly lost the ring. Her Majesty waved her magic wand and her ring that she had lost from her finger, that the two had found, was back on her finger.

Her Majesty now waved her magic wand once more and all of the wishes that had been made to the couple in the past were now taken away. They both now looked very ugly and both had no more money or wealth. Her Majesty also gave the two of them one blue eye and one brown eye this was to remind them of how silly they had been telling their story in the woods so that all could hear.

Her Majesty thanked me for letting her know what the two silly people had been saying in the forest also for telling her that the two had lost the ring, which was then very easy for Her Majesty to get back with the help of the magic wand.
