Merlin Grants A Wish

-The Shadows Learn How It Feels to Be a Top-

By MAX TRELL

KNARF, the shadow boy with

the turned-about name, was just saying to his sister Hanid: "All the children on the blocks are spinning tops today.”

"They are?" said Hunid.

"I wonder," said Kharf, “how it feels to be a top and to spin around."

At that moment, Mr Merlin, the Magnifieen Maglelan, came along. He stopped and smilled and said: "What's

this about wanting to know how it feels

to be a pinning top?"

Kart and Hanid said they'd like very much to know,

"Except that l's impossible. isn't it?" said Hunid.

"Nothing is impossible for magnificent magician like me,' said Mr Merlin. "Just do as I soy, Now, make yourselves small-about as small as a pear and just about the same shope. Can you do that?"

"Of course I can do that" said Hanid. "Here we go!"
