Mikey looked at the rock he had taken from Jon's room on his way out of the house, but stopped in his tracks just outside the front door. This was the wishing stone his grandpa had told him stories about!
He turned around and went back into the house, looking around for his parents before sitting down on the couch and watching TV. Once he thought about it, his caution made him laugh. He had a wishing stone! A quick wish later, he had nothing to fear from Jon trying to take it back.
"I wish grandpa had given the stone to me instead."
