3 Q: What did you learn from the story? Answer in five (5) sentences
A: I learned from the story that think before you wish anything. Always
be careful on what you are wishing for because you might have the
worst outcome for your wish. If we do any actions without thinking you
might fall. Remember that in every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction. And dont let money replaced your child, because it
is so important to you.
