THE THREE WISHES.
Onces upon a time when samrat was an old magician.He lived in a village. One day, he went to meet his relative in another village. When he wasreturning home , it began to rain .
He had no umbrella. So he got wet. He looked here and there for shelter.

There was a big Neem tree nearby. The Neem tree called out.''Come here,
Sir! Stand under my shade. I will keep
you dry with my thick branches.'' sam-
rat was happy. He stood under the Neem tree.

After some time, the rain stopped. He
got ready to go.He said"Thank you ,
Neem tree. You are kind.You have saved me from rain.I am a magician.I
shall grantvyour three wishes.''

The Neem tree was glad.He wanted to
have so many things But first of all he
wanted to change his dull leaves. He
did not like his light green leaves. So he said,"I wish to have shiny glass leaves."The magician granted his wish and went away.

That night the wind blew gardai.All the glass leaves broke into hundreds of tiny pieces. The Neem tree was very sad .

So,he asked for his second wish,"I wish to have bright golden leaves."At once,all his branches were ful of shiny
golden leaves. But at night, two thieves
came and stole all the golden leaves.

The next morning, the Neem tree was very sad. He thought for long time. Then he asked for his third wish,"I wish to have my old green leaves." His wish was fulfilled and ocean again, he
got his light green leaves.

Next morning,the village children saw
the Neem tree. They said, "Look at the Neem tree. How beautiful it looks
with its lovely light green leaves. They
smell so nice, we love you dear Neem
tree."
And the Neem tree was very happy.
