Sanyika is a chatterbox, an exuberant little boy. He is most interested in cars. He has a lot of cars at home and he brings in his favorite ones to the hospital as well, when he comes for a treatment, to play with them. When he attended one of these treatments, I read the Aladdin and the Magic Lamp story for him, while his mother was speaking with the doctors.

He paid close attention to the tale and was watching the pictures in the storybook. At the end of the story, I asked him what his wish would be from the genie in case he had one. He replied immediately:

‘I would like a car, which we can use with my little brother together, has a light and sound in the color of black’ – said Sanyika explicitly.

The genie, as so many times in the past, has heard this wish as well and has taken the battery car to the home of Sanyika, in Kerecsend.

The pleasure was great when the black car with two seats, lights and sound was unpacked from this huge box. The whole family shared this joy with Sanyika.

He and his brother immediately tried this ‘miracle car’ – as Sanyika said.

Thank you to our private contributors, including the teachers, students and parents of The American International School of Budapest, in making the wish of Sanyika happen.
