Sylvester and the Magic Pebble


Cameron likes this story. It's about a Donkey who comes across a magic pebble. He finds that when he holds it, and makes a wish, the wish will come true. He is very excited to show his parents. As he is rushing home, he comes across a lion. In a panic, he wishes that he were a rock. He stays as a rock for a very long time, at least a year. His parents are distraught, and so is he. Finally the parents happen to have a picnic on the Sylvester rock, and the mother places the pebble on him. He wishes he were himself again, and so he is. They are all SO happy, and they put the pebble in a safe because they know all they really need is each other.

At the end of the story, Cameron said "I would wish for a bunch of toys." Good to know he understood the lesson of the book. *ha ha*
