This fictional tale is about a young boy with an unusually large nose that all the kids in school pick on because of his appearance. One day he performs an act of kindness for an old woman, who turns out to be a good fairy. In return she gives him a magic paintbrush that will grant him five wishes. At first, he was delighted, thinking about all the material things he could wish for himself, especially a normal sized nose! As the story continues, he comes across others in need of help more than himself, so he selflessly uses all his wishes on them. His parents had taught him the importance of compassion and helping others in need.
