Noah loved visiting his Grandma Eleanor’s countryside home, where a mysterious old well sat in the backyard. Grandma always told him, “This is no ordinary well. It listens to wishes, but only the purest ones come true.”
One afternoon, curiosity got the best of Noah. He tossed in a small pebble and whispered, “I wish to have the fastest bicycle in town.”
Nothing happened.
Grandma Eleanor chuckled as she watched him. “Noah, the well only grants wishes that come from the heart. Try again, but this time, think about what truly matters.”
Noah thought hard. He looked at his little sister, Lily, struggling to fix her broken doll. She had been sad all day. He stepped up to the well again, tossed another pebble, and softly wished, “I wish Lily’s doll could be fixed so she can be happy again.”
A soft breeze swirled around them. When they returned inside, they found Lily’s doll sitting on the table, perfectly mended.
Noah’s eyes widened. “Grandma! It worked!”
Grandma Eleanor smiled. “You see, dear, when you wish for something selfless, the world finds a way to make it happen.”
From that day on, Noah only made wishes that would bring happiness to others, learning that kindness and generosity were the true magic behind the wishing well.
