When's the last time you helped someone?

Perhaps you set the table or watered the plants.

Maybe you introduced yourself to someone new at school.

Or you just gave somebody a big hug when he or she needed it most.

The people we'll meet in today's story are all about helping other people.

But when a mysterious stranger offers them some help, you won't believe what happens.

I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.

Today's folktale is called the Three Wishes.

For many years, people have been telling different versions of this story in many countries

around the world, from France to Sweden to Puerto Rico.

Some really great people came together to bring you this tale, including real-life, husband

and wife, Patrick and Mandy Fabian.

Grown-ups, you may recognize Patrick from the AMC original series Better Call Saul.

And Mandy is a writer and director who helped create the new Amazon comedy, Dropping the

Soap.
