decide what to wish for.'
With this, he set foot for his house. Back at his
house, things were no different. Everyone
wanted Jonathan to wish for different things
from the elf. His old, blind mother wanted her
sight back, his brother asked for immense
wealth, his wife for many years now wished
for a child and his father-in-law asked for a
big house. Jonathan, himself wanted a free
country because somewhere, deep inside his
heart, he knew that Darth Village taking over
Pixel Village was partly because of his deeds.
However, the elf had promised to grant a
single wish only.
After thinking for two days, he finally
approached the elf. 'Have you decided what you will wish for,' asked the elf.
'Yes, I have,' replied Jonathan. 'I wish that my mother sees my child rocking in a
golden cradle from the fourth floor of my house in this free country,' he added.
Jonathan's wishes were fulfilled. He set the elf free. Jonathan was now the
richest and the happiest man in the whole of the Pixel Village. He was soon
crowned the king and he lived happily ever after.
If you had just one wish, what would you
wish for and why?
