If you happened to find a sand fairy who could grant you one wish each day, would you know what to wish for? Would you be careful enough to not accidentally wish for something silly? You probably think you would make some very good wishes and thereby solve all of your problems.
If so, read “Five Children and It” by E. Nesbit to see how wishes that seem to be pretty reasonable can lead to some pretty strange results and how accidental wishes led these kids into amazingly complicated and funny adventures. This is an old story that is worth being read by a new generation of kids or being revisited by adults who read it as kids.
