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

Sally didnt know what to wish for.

Sally was confused.

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

Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped in Sallys head.

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.

There was no more misery and gloom.

And to think it all started with a can...
