Judy waved goodbye to her good friend Sarah.

The doctors in the hospital were going to make Sarah better.

Judy wished her friend was not ill.

She really wished.

She wished she would get better quickly.

She really wished.

Judy liked to wish and wishing for other people was the best!

I wish my dog Sandy wouldn't be frightened by thunder and lightning.

I wish that all my class mates get gold stars.

I wish that all people could be happy and smiley.

As you can see, Judy did a lot of wishing.



Some days Judy would just sit in her room, cross her legs, put on a big smile and she would wish away.

Over time her wishes became less selfish and more thoughts arose in regard to others, and

with this, Judy noticed something new and

quite amazing..

Her wishes were attracting special creatures.

At first, Judy could only see something smoky as she glanced out of the corner of her eye.

She was not really sure what she had seen.

“May be it was just smoke” she thought and Judy rubbed her eyes to clear them.

But as she continued to wish, these swirls of smoke came nearer.

Finally, Judy could see that they were fairies.

They were busy dashing about as if they were catching something.

Judy was amazed, and distracted by them she thought: “Why are they here and what are

they doing?”

With this thought one small blue haired fairy giggled and said:

“We are feeding off your good intentions. Didn't you know that we feed off your positive wishes?”

Judy ate her lunch quietly

She wondered if what she had seen was real, or if it had all been a dream?

She wanted to wish some more.

But Judy’s brother, Colin, had his friend Tashi around to the house to play.

It was noisy – “no chance for wishing” Judy sighed..

Early the next morning Judy awoke to the sound of birds. Their song reminded her of the giggling fairies.

“Time to wish” she thought.

Judy began to think about all the people and animals that had been hurt in floods, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and she wished for all of them to be well.

She wished and she wished with all her heart, so hard was she wishing that she nearly didn't notice that a group of baby dragons were gobbling up her wishes.

But when she did notice, she was excited and delighted. So much so that when she finished wishing, she ran and told her brother.

Colin was a typical brother: “You silly Sis” he said and laughed in her face.

But when Colin was alone in his room he could not help but think: “Dragons – how cool!”

He also thought that he did feel sad about Tashi’s Dad having a sore back, so he said to himself: “It can't hurt to try”.

Dragon's - how cool!

It can't hurt to try

It took a while, but after some practice Colin’s heart started to feel light and warm.

And then it happened...

...the most exotic of birds, the Phoenix, appeared.

A vibrant collection of coloured feathers darted about chasing all Colin’s wishes.

WOW!
