"What is it?" Jerri asked.
"It's a stone that grants wishes. I know, I know. It sounds like a joke. But it's not. It's real," Laura said.
"Wishes, huh?" For some reason, Jerri believed her. It seemed like an impossible sort of thing, but she still believed her anyway. "Do you think I could use that to help my sister out?"
"That's why I'm showing it to you. Here, take it."
"Well, if it's yours, I really couldn't."
"It's not mine. At least, I don't think it is. I found it in my garage, on the floor. It may have been dragged in there or something. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I've used it for everything I can think of. Take it. Help your sister."
Jerri took the stone.
"Just tell me what happens, okay?"
"Okay." Jerri walked back to her sister's house, wishing stone in hand.
