Hi, welcome back to R. L. Stein's Story Club for another spooky season of thrilling and strange stories.

I'm Ivy, and as you know, I'm the keeper of these stories. The charismatic club leader who will introduce you to the abnormal,

the frightening, and the unsettling story club world.

Our stories come from R. L. Stein's hidden secret vault,

and they've never been heard before.

The only people who get to hear them are story club members, like you. And today's

story will rock your world. Ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on a wishing stone?

A pebble that will grant any wish you desire? Well, today, Eddie and Karen find out the hard way that just because you have

a wishing stone doesn't mean all your wishes will come true. In fact, a wishing stone can lead

to a whole lot more trouble than anything else. It's Arl Stein Story Club, and this is the Wishing Stone.

Pancho, no! Stop trying to catch the baseball. It's not for you to play with. Make sure he doesn't get the ball, Karen.

I'm trying! Why does your dog always want the ball, Eddie?

Poncho always wants to play catch. In fact, he always wants to do everything and eat everything.

Well, sorry, Poncho. This baseball is just for humans.

I'm so good at baseball. I think I'll go up for our school's team.

Hey, I bet I can throw the ball farther than you can.

Oh yeah, prove it. I'm gonna go stand all the way back here by the fence.

I doubt you can throw it that far.

Watch me.

Okay, okay, you win.

But why do you always have to brag?

Because I'm better.
