"What will you do with your money?" Sinta asked.
"Well, if I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world," said Anna. "How about you?"
"If I had a lot of money, I would build a school for poor people," said Sinta.
"That is a good wish. If I were you, I would also travel around the world like Anna," said Ulin.
"I would wish the Earth become a better place, if there is a fairy who can grant my wishes," said Helga.
"Helga, without a fairy, we can make the Earth a better place. If we stay kind to each other, the Earth will be a better place to live," said Sinta.
Sinta was right. Even though there is no fairy godmother, we can make the Earth a better place, if we had more empathy and compassion towards others.
The four girls continued to talk about their wishes. Helga said that she would help people if she had power.
If the girls hadn't watched the movie about the fairy, they wouldn't have the conversation about the wishes they wanted.
