One day I was at my Grandma’s house and I went to the beach with her. I was only like 5 back then, I’m 7 now. And I was playing in the sand and I decided to build a sand castle but then I wanted to dig and see if I could find any treasures. And I dug the whole beach up! I found out that somebody had put a magic treasure box in the sand. And then I dug it up and it said “Rub me three times and you’ll get a wish.”
So I showed Grandma it and she took it back home to her house and then we opened it upstairs and I rubbed it three times and I got a wish and then I went back home and then I asked my mommy if I could play the Wii game Rampage all day and all night every day. And then she said “Yes!”
So I did it for every day and it was fun at first but then I got hungry and I could not eat because I just couldn’t stop. And I was thirsty but couldn’t stop to take a drink. Reece came over for a play date at our house but I couldn’t stop so I missed it. And then I asked for my wish to be taken back and I got to do everything.
And the moral of the story is don’t be thoughtless and don’t wish for the things without thinking and don’t be greedy.
