Once, a family of peasants lived in a hut near a forest. The peasants had a son who could not walk. He had an illness, which no doctor could cure. Every day, he prayed so that he might walk and see the world. One night, when the boy was looking out of the window, he saw a fairy coming towards his hut. When the fairy reached the hut, she said to the boy, “I have read your thoughts to see the wonders of the world. You have a nice heart, so, I’ll heal your legs.” Then she gently touched the boy’s legs with her wand. The boy could now walk. His parents were overjoyed to see him walk. He started going to school and studied hard. When he grew up, he became a doctor. He travelled the world and cured many ill children on his journey.
