be careful what you wish for
Tanya sat down on the edge of her bed and tiredly looked around the room. Toys were strewn around, teddy bears lay on top of cuddly unicorns, books had been left open on the carpet and even the building blocks were still stacked the way she had left them. She sighed. Mom will start shouting about cleaning up this mess soon..
Just then a slight breeze shifted the curtains and in flew the tiniest purple fairy and landed on Tanya’s nose. She squinted and unperturbed asked “What’s your name?”
“Anita.” answered the fairy “I have granted you one wish.”
“I wish that my room will always be clean and tidy!” Tanya shouted with excitement, nearly knocking Anita off her nose.
mexinoxi Anita chanted, swished her magic wand and disappeared in a puff of fairy dust. The last thing Tanya saw before falling asleep were all the toys jumping to their places.
The next morning Tanya started to play. But as soon as she took a toy from the box or a book from the shelf it jumped back.
Tanya couldn’t play and started crying.
