The Three Wishes of Suki

6 min 47 sec

Suki brushed Whiskers on the back porch while the evening sky melted into the color of peach ice cream.
Whiskers leaned into the brush like it was the best part of the day, purring so steadily that the porch boards seemed to relax too.

A speck of light drifted down through the air, floating like a dandelion seed that had learned how to glow.
It landed on the wooden railing with a tiny sparkle, then stretched taller, brighter, and clearer.

In the space of a single breath, the speck became a fairy no bigger than Suki’s thumb.
Her wings shimmered like dew on spiderwebs, and her little dress looked as if it had been stitched from moonlight and soft clouds.

The fairy dipped into a careful curtsy.
Her voice chimed like wind chimes in a gentle breeze.

“Kind girl,” she said, “you once shared your sandwich with a hungry sparrow who had nowhere else to land.
The Queen of Kindness noticed, and she sent me here with three wishes for you and your furry friend.”

Suki’s eyes went wide, and Whiskers purred so loudly the flowerpots near the steps hummed along.

The fairy raised a silver wand.
Three golden motes rose into the air, glowing like tiny suns that didn’t hurt your eyes to look at.
They hovered between Suki and Whiskers, bobbing softly as if they were listening.

“Choose carefully,” the fairy warned.
“Wishes like to wander and make their own patterns.”

Suki hugged Whiskers close and felt his warm heartbeat under her palm.
She thought about what would make the world gentler, not just for her, but for everyone who needed a little help.

She whispered her first wish.

“We wish every book we open could read itself aloud, so every child can enjoy stories.”

The first golden mote flashed and zipped away like a delighted firefly.
It flew straight to the open library window across the yard and slipped inside.

A second later, pages fluttered as if the books had woken up excited.
Soft voices began drifting through the window, reading adventures about pirates, dragons, and teacups that held secret meetings after bedtime.

The fairy smiled, and the second mote floated forward.

Suki scratched Whiskers behind the ears, and Whiskers blinked in slow approval.
Then Suki said, “We wish the old maple in the park could grow cupcakes every Friday, so no one has to feel hungry.”

The second mote twirled upward, spiraled across the darkening sky, and tucked itself gently into the tallest maple branches.

Instantly, the tree shivered like it had been tickled.
Frosting colored leaves appeared.
Chocolate swirls shaped the bark.
Little cupcake fruits popped out along the twigs, decorated with sprinkles that glittered in the sunset.

In the distance, kids playing tag stopped mid run, stared, and cheered so loudly that even the pigeons sounded impressed.

The fairy’s wings glowed a faint lavender as she guided the final mote toward Suki.

Suki looked down at Whiskers, whose whiskers twitched like he was thinking something important.
Suki pictured the people who sat quietly in their homes, the ones who felt forgotten without anyone noticing.

She closed her eyes and made her third wish.

“May every lonely person wake up to a handwritten note under their door, reminding them they matter.”

The last mote burst into stardust that swirled upward, then drifted over the rooftops like a gentle cloud of glitter.
It scattered itself toward sleeping neighbors, carrying warmth the way a blanket carries heat.

The fairy bowed once more, then turned into a glowing firefly and blinked out into the dusk.

Suki and Whiskers stayed on the porch for a long moment, listening.
The library’s new voices continued reading softly.
A sweet smell floated in from the park, like vanilla and cinnamon tucked into the wind.
Somewhere far away, mail slots seemed to whisper as if they were already practicing for morning.

Days passed, and the magic didn’t fade.
It settled in like something that belonged there.

The library stayed lively even after dark, because the books never truly stopped talking.
Night workers wandered in to listen for a chapter before heading home.
Restless dreamers came in slippers and found comfort in stories that read themselves with patient, friendly voices.

On Fridays, the maple tree offered cupcakes all afternoon without ever running out.
Parents arrived with baskets, laughing in disbelief.
Kids took turns choosing frosting colors.
Even the park squirrels seemed extra polite, as if they knew the treat was meant for sharing.

And each morning, neighbors discovered letters slipped quietly under doors.
Some were written in pencil.
Some were written in rainbow ink.
Some had little drawings of suns and hearts and smiling cats.

People who used to walk with their heads down started waving again.
Doors held open longer.
Umbrellas were shared without anyone being asked.
Painted rocks appeared on sidewalks with messages like, “You sparkle,” and “Keep going,” and “I’m glad you’re here.”

Whiskers benefitted too.
Thankful neighbors began leaving saucers of cream on porch steps, and Whiskers accepted them like a polite king, purring poems that sounded like starlight.

One crisp evening, the fairy returned.
She floated in on a spinning leaf like a tiny parachute, landing beside Suki’s bedroom window.

Whiskers chased a moonbeam across the quilt, then stopped to stare with serious interest.

“Your wishes multiplied,” the fairy said, eyes shining.
“Kindness always does that when it’s shared.”

She sprinkled a pinch of silver dust into Suki’s palm.
The dust gathered itself into a small heart shaped locket that warmed the moment Suki touched it.

Inside the locket glimmered three miniature motes, quiet and waiting.

“These are emergency wishes,” the fairy explained.
“Only open them when the world feels too heavy.”

Suki hugged the locket to her chest.
“Thank you,” she whispered.

The fairy spun once, turned into snow that never felt cold, and melted into the night.

Seasons turned like pages in a favorite book.
Winter brought sleds shaped like open paperbacks down Library Hill, and children heard stories while swooshing through powder.
Spring carried the scent of cupcakes on breezes that sprinkled flowers like confetti.
Summer nights blinked with fireflies that looked like floating letters spelling, “You are loved.”
Autumn painted the world in cinnamon colors, warm and sweet.

Suki grew taller.
Whiskers’ whiskers softened into a gentle gray.
The magic stayed calm, steady, and kind.

One February dusk, Suki noticed a new girl sitting alone on the playground bench, clutching a doll with a broken arm.
Snowflakes dotted her braids, and her shoulders looked small under the heavy sky.

Suki’s locket warmed against her collarbone.

Suki approached slowly so she wouldn’t scare the girl away.
“Hi,” she said softly. “I’m Suki. This is Whiskers. Can we sit with you?”

The girl nodded, barely.
Her name was Myra, and she had just moved into the yellow house on Sycamore Street.
She missed her old friends so much that her chest felt cracked, just like her doll.

Suki listened until the sky turned deep and blue.
Then she opened the locket.

One emergency mote drifted out like a sleepy star.
Suki didn’t speak the wish alone.
She placed the mote in her palm and invited Myra to close her fingers over it too.

Together they whispered a single word.
“Friendship.”

The mote pulsed once, rose into the air above the swing set, and popped silently like a bubble made of light.
Glitter fell down like powdered sugar, sparkling and calm.

The next morning, Myra’s mailbox was stuffed with small envelopes.
Different handwriting.
Different colors.
Little drawings of swings, slides, and smiling suns that all said the same thing.

Come play.

Myra’s face brightened like sunrise.
She walked to school with Suki and Whiskers, and neighbors waved as if they had known her all along.
At recess, kids invited her into jump rope and relay races.

By Friday, the cupcake maple grew heart shaped treats with strawberry frosting, as if the whole park was celebrating her arrival.

Suki felt the locket rest lighter against her heart.
Two wishes remained, quiet and patient.

Years later, Suki became a librarian who read aloud every Tuesday to wide eyed kids who loved stories that sounded like comfort.
Whiskers napped atop the encyclopedias, tail flicking in time with rhymes.
The locket stayed close beneath Suki’s collar, waiting for a day it might be needed again.

She never forgot how it started.
A tiny light on a porch railing.
A small kindness remembered.
And three wishes that taught an entire town how to belong to one another.
