The Chimera's Three Wishes

In a cozy valley, Chimmy is a cheerful chimera with one round, chubby body and three long necks, each wearing a soft red neckerchief. The lion head, with his fluffy orange mane and tiny brass bell, longs for adventure. The goat head, crowned with a daisy, dreams of a quiet garden. The dragon head, with teal scales and a gold coin pendant, is always chasing shiny treasure. Since the three heads can never agree, they argue from morning till night, and their poor body never knows which way to go.

One sunny morning a little blue bird tells them about a magical wishing fountain beyond the hill that grants one wish to those who ask together. The heads set off at once, each pulling a different way, until the bird teaches them to walk in rhythm. At the fountain, however, they all shout their wishes at once, and the water turns dull and grey. The bird explains that the fountain only works when wishes are shared, and the heads must learn to listen to one another. This gentle tale by Yavuz DEMİRKIRAN follows Chimmy's three heads as they apologize and share what each truly wants. Young readers can enjoy it on Online Masal.
