Amara walked through the park.

The trees in the park were green and healthy.

But, there was one tree that was brown and dry.

1

"I need to water this tree," said Amara to herself.

She watered the tree and it quickly came to life.

It grew into a big, magnificent green tree.

2

Then, the tree spoke.

"You watered me and brought me back to life," said the tree.

"I'm a magic tree, I shall grant you three wishes."

3

Amara made her first wish.

"I wish for a red bicycle," she said cautiously.

Abracadabra! A red bicycle appeared.

4

She made her second wish after thinking for a few moments.

"I wish for a small radio," said Amara.

Abracadabra! A small radio appeared.

5

Amara made her third wish.

"I wish for pink crystal earrings," she said happily.

Abracadabra! Pink crystal earrings appeared.

6

The magic tree said, "You have everything that you wanted."

Amara smiled, "Yes I do, but those things were not for me."

The magic tree was confused.

7

Amara explained, "The bicycle is for my older brother. He outgrew his bicycle."

"The radio is for Dad. His radio broke. The earrings are for Mum. She loves fancy earrings."

"And they will all share with me!"
