Today is Thursday.
I am going to read another book in my list, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.
Sylvester Duncan lived with his mother and father. One of his hobbies was collecting pebbles of unusual shape and color. On a rainy day he found a strange one, which was flaming red, shiny and perfectly round. When he played the pebble with his hand, he felt cold in the rain and said, "I wish it would stop raining." Surprised him, it stopped raining just at that moment. He had never experienced that his wish came true so quickly. It was not just stop raining. The sun was as shining as if rain had never existed. And there was no water everywhere. Everything was dry. Sylvester guessed that the pebble might have magic power. To make a test, he put the pebble on the ground and said,"I wish it would rain again." Nothing happened. But when he said the same sentence holding the pebble in his hoof, the rain came shooting down. Sylvester was so excited that he thought he could get anything he wanted. And his parents, his relatives, his friends, and anybody at all could get anything they wanted. He wished the sunshine back again and he wished a wart on his his left hind fetlock would disappear, and it did.
