Long, lon g ago lived a very old and wise man in China. He was so wise he had summoned the gods before. One day, he decided to give a very special object a very important power. He thought and thought and eventually he decided that the object should be a mushroom. The Magic Mushroom! It would appear to a hero when in need by luck and at the perfect time too! But the Magic Mushroom would give more than 3 wishes. It would give its owner 3 wishes and then move onto the next owner. Well the first owner was a small boy who lived in Shanghai. His name was Ping. It came to him in a time of need because the army troops from Saudi Arabia were taking over the land. The boy, a mushroom picker, picker the magic mushroom and it asked him to take him to the boy’s house. He did, and it gave him 3 wishes. He was a kind boy and he asked if the troops would go away. They did go away and the Mushroom asked him what the other 2 wishes would be. So the boy didn’t take riches or anything like that. He just asked the mushroom for one more wish. He asked the Mushroom for one more wish. He asked if his father’s crops would never die. The wish came true and Ping and his family lived happily ever after. THE END!
