After watching the movie Cinderella, four-year-old Becky started using her pinwheel as a magic wand, pretending she was a fairy godmother.
“Make three wishes,” she told her mom, “and I’ll grant them.”
Her mom asked for world peace.
Becky swung her wand and proclaimed the request fulfilled.
Next, her mom wished for a cure for every ill child.
And with a sweep of the pinwheel, Becky delivered the wish.
The mother, with a glance down at her rather full figure, made her third request, “I wish to have a trim figure again.”
The miniature fairy godmother waved her wand furiously.
“I’ll need more power for this!” she exclaimed.
