“Make a wish!” said the can. “Any wish at all!”

Sally didn’t know what to wish for.
A mansion? An endless supply of candy? All the pretty dresses in the world?

Sally was confused.
While she was thinking, Sally noticed a little girl crying.

Sally closed her eyes and said to the wishing can, “I wish everyone could be happy!”
I wish everyone could be happy!
At once, the birds started to sing and beautiful music floated in the air like bubbles.
Hearts became filled with love, compassion and acceptance.
