One warm autumn evening, when on one side of the sky the sun still left its last rays and clung to them over the horizon line, and on the other the moon was already celebrating its victory by day, Gigi Grant and Twyla sat on a bench by the sea and chatted animatedly. Finally, after a fascinating conversation about a new series of shoes, there was a pause. Silence was broken by Gigi:
-Listen, Twy! I, after my lamp was found in the attic of the school, was so carried away with these desires that I forgot about your 13! Grant smiled. - Take the lamp. Come on!
Twilah thought for a moment. Her main desire was known - she wanted to stop hiding and show for people their true self. But she was afraid of it. And the daughter of the genie in the first place expected to hear just that.
After a brief pause, Twilah started, as if waking from a dream, and began:
-I want ... First of all, I want to ... Oh, exactly! Do you remember how Hawlin wanted to be beautiful?
-Oh sure.
-You did it, did not you? - and without waiting for an answer, she continued. -So do it again! After all, she is my best friend, and what matters to me is what's important to her!
-Good good! Already done! - Gigi smiled even more.
-So ... And my younger sister, Fira, wanted a new doll ... And a real I-coffin. Not a toy! And my dad wanted a food processor, because he does not good manage in the kitchen.
Ah..., here I would, for example, I wanted to become a psychologist ... Well, okay. And you know, even Spectra really wanted to become a winner in the Annual Journalists Contest. He's tomorrow, and she needs victory so! And ... and yet ... even Claudine wanted to go to the Fashion Week in Scaris. She was promised to take it. And what if they do not take it?
Gigi listened to Twilah and did not stop smiling.
-So ... And still Rochelle really wanted to learn how to swim. Tomorrow is a swimming lesson, here is a surprise! And Operetta could not finish one song for a long time. I was eavesdropping, she was just super-duper, but at the end something did not work out ... Let she finish, okay? - Twylah was silent for a while, and then continued. - And yet, when I went to the normals yesterday, well, their fears are there, you remember, one boy really wanted ... em ... that his father returned home and they reconciled with mother. Did it? To be sure? Hmm ... Even Gulia wanted new comics, which will come out only in a week. And her scooter broke ... So fix it! And yet ...
"Hey, baby, listen!" You already 12 wish has spent! At what to others. Come on, Twy, think of something for yourself-beloved!
"For myself ..." Twilah seemed not to expect that something could be done for herself. - Gigi, I just want everyone to be happy. I do not need more. So be happy yourself, and with the help of your gift make others happy.
Twilah smiled, rose from the bench and walked along the sandy shore, already illuminated by the rays of the silver moon ...
