Once there was a teen-age kid named John who discovered a magical portal at the back of the shabby

and dilapidated room of an abandoned school. John called his mother right away that he was going
somewhere to a part of the abandoned school. He told his mother to call him when it was time to go
home, and she agreed. He gazed around the abandoned school to see if anyone else was there. He
didn't see anything, so he decided to go in solely on what he saw. John was astonished and surprised by
the magical portal he discovered. He even rubbed his eyes with both hands to be sure what he was
seeing was true. He still couldn’t believe he’d discovered a magical portal. He carefully inspected the
magical portal and opened it out of curiosity. "Open Sesame!", he shouted. It quickly opens onto the
second tunnel that connects the two dimensions. When he opened it, he walked right in without
hesitation. He was astounded by what he saw—beautiful trees, flowers, and even animals. He was
immediately taken with the ambience and decided to take a tour. While wandering, he noticed a distant
tree that caught his attention. It is the Hawthorn tree, a small deciduous tree with thorny branches, dark
green leaves, and clusters of small white fragrant flowers. As he comes closer, he notices a wooden
plaque beneath it. When he got close enough, he read what was in it: "Your Wish is My Command."
John has no idea if it will work, but he believes that nothing will be lost if he tries. John was pondering
what he would like to wish for. He remembered that his cellphone was old and broken. “How about if I
request a new cellphone?”, that’s exactly what he was planning. He was ecstatic at the prospect of
finally receiving his new cellphone. John was seldom envious of his friends’ cellphones, which were
always new. But John no longer considers purchasing a new cellphone. He realized what had changed
and our current situation. He remembers the things that changed. Before, people had the freedom to do
whatever they wanted. They have the freedom to go wherever they want, but they can’t do it any
longer. The situation is now perilous. Many people are terrified, worried, and depressed because they’ve
lost their jobs and are unable to feed their families. John remembers a lot of people who died from the
virus. The COVID-19 disease is now affecting many people. Moreover, the majority of individuals are in
pain and have lost all hope. It is also sadder to think that many people are homeless and just live on the
streets. They can do nothing but suffer because they have no money. At this point of realizing, the
statue behind of the tree has caught his attention. A wooden placard next to it reads, "One wish, one
exchange." He was shock and at the same time, afraid of what will be the exchange. For the second time
around, John thought carefully about what he was going to ask for. He assessed which was more
important: his cellphone or the well-being of everyone. He was in the middle of a thought when the
statue abruptly spoke. It asked John what he wanted to wish for because the portal was closing in an
hour. His mother suddenly called and asked where he was, to which he replied that he had entered the
magical portal. He had already said his final words to his mother because he didn't know what was going
to happen to him next. Her mother simply sobbed at what she had heard. After stating all of that, John
hung up the phone. Her mother was impotent to deal with the situation and could only cry. That was
not something she expected to happen to her son. John has made his decision. He chose to wish that
the people's situation be resolved. To set people free, to give them nothing to worry about, and most
importantly, to eradicate the virus that destroys people's lives. The statue told John that his life will be
the exchange. He had no idea that his life would be the exchange, but he accepted it wholeheartedly
and without hesitation. He only thinks about his family's life and it would be better for him to vanish
than for all of his family members to perish as a result of the virus. John suddenly fell in his position after
the statue fulfilled his wish. He was completely unconscious and could no longer get out of the portal.
People were taken aback by the rapid change in situation, but it also brought them joy. On that day, no
cases of covid-19 were reported, indicating that the virus had vanished. People were pleased with the
situation, especially John, who sacrificed himself for loved ones and people who were already struggling
with the situation. However, John's mother noticed that he was gone and she couldn't help but cry
because she remembered John had gone to the magical portal. Eventually, the magical portal closed and
in honor of John, a statue of him was erected in their place.
