Five Children and It2004
Psammead:
Were the vases smashed to smithereens?
Jane:
Yes.
Psammead:
Add the floor flooded and dictionaries drenched?
Cyril:
They were.
Psammead:
And the house burned to the ground?
Robert:
No.
Psammead:
House didn't burn to the ground? I'd say you got off pretty lightly then, all things considered.
Robert:
Not so fast, Sand Fairy!
Cyril:
You made them ruin the house on purpose, didn't you?
Psammead:
Look, it's not me, it's the rules. You make a wish, it goes horribly wrong, and then you learn something valuable.
Robert:
That's terrible. I don't need to learn anything!
Psammead:
Of course, everything is back to normal by sunset.
