The Legend of the Magpie

Theo shared a small house with his parents, who were broom makers in the village. Theo knew chances were good that his wishes would never come true. But one day he met an old woman and she told him about the legend of the magpie. She said if you sprinkle salt on the tail of a magpie, whatever you wish will come true. You must wish quickly before the salt falls off the bird's tail. Because if the salt fall off before you make your wish, it will never cometrue.
