I really enjoyed reading this book because I used to read it may times when I was younger! This old, classic tale of a couple being granted three wishes for doing a good deed demonstrates to the readers that when given the opportunity, don't be greedy or hasty to take it without thinking about it

first. The couple in the story ended up wasting their three wishes because they were hasty and then angry with one another. But then they realized that they were appreciative of what they had. That is the other lesson/message that the readers can gain from the story. Appreciating what you have is essential, especially for elementary school students. This book/story will allow students to have discussions with their classmates as well as their teacher and parents about what it means to appreciate what you have.
