Once upon a time, there was a boy named Harry who had a magical bucket full of dinosaurs. When Harry wanted to have fun, he would jump into his bucket and go to a magical place called Dino World!
One day, it was raining, and Harry was feeling a bit grumpy. He wished for pancakes instead of cereal and wanted to play the guitar. He even wished his friend Sam wasn’t such a know-it-all. Harry thought, “I need to find a place where wishes come true!”
Harry had an idea! He thought if he went to Dino World, he might find a wishing well that could make his wishes come true. So, with his dinosaur friends, he jumped into the bucket and off they went!
In Dino World, they found the wishing well. Harry was excited and asked for some wishes. The well told him to lower the bucket and pull up some wishing stones. Each stone was a wish!
Harry and his friends started making wishes. Harry wished for new running shoes, and they appeared! Then he wished to be taller, and he grew! But when he wished to be smaller, he shrank too much!
Harry’s friends also made wishes. One wished to be super smart, and another wished for a mountain of candy. But soon, they realized that some wishes were a bit silly and not very helpful.
They used up almost all the wishing stones, and there was only one left. Harry thought hard about what to wish for. He decided to wish for everything to go back to normal, just like before they started wishing.
With his last wish, everything went back to the way it was. Harry learned that sometimes it’s better to enjoy things as they are. He was happy to have his friends and his magical adventures in Dino World.
Back home, Harry’s mom asked if he wanted spaghetti for dinner. Harry almost wished for something else but remembered his lesson. He smiled and said, “Spaghetti will be just fine!”
And that’s the story of Harry and his magical bucket full of dinosaurs. Remember, wishes can be fun, but it’s important to think about them carefully!
Wishing Stones Craft: Create your own wishing stones! Gather some small, smooth stones from outside or use craft stones. With the help of an adult, paint or color them with bright colors. Once they are dry, think about a wish you might have and draw a picture of it on the stone. Share your wishes with your friends or family and discuss why you chose them. Remember, like Harry, think about whether your wish is helpful or just for fun!
Wish and Reality Game: Play a game where you make a wish and then think about what would happen if it came true. For example, if you wish for endless ice cream, what might happen? Would you get tired of it? Would it melt everywhere? Discuss with your classmates or family what might be the good and not-so-good things about each wish. This will help you understand the importance of thinking carefully about your wishes, just like Harry learned.
Everyday Wishes Journal: Start a journal where you can write or draw one wish each day. At the end of the week, look back at your wishes and think about which ones you still want and which ones you might have changed your mind about. Talk with a friend or family member about how your wishes might affect your day-to-day life. This activity will help you appreciate what you have and understand the value of thoughtful wishing.

Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and more! [Music] It’s Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs! To get more of the magic, all we do is jump inside with Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs. [Music]
I wish it wasn’t raining. I wish I was having pancakes instead of cereal. I wish I could play guitar. I wish you could play guitar. I wish Sam wasn’t such a know-it-all. It’s not fair; my wishes never come true. I need to find a place where wishes work.
Hey, I bet if we went to Dino World, we’d find a place where my wishes can come true. Well, if there is such a place in Dino World, I haven’t heard of it. What about the wishing well? It’s a well that grants wishes, and it’s in Dino World!
That’s exactly what I’m talking about! Come on, let’s go! That idea is as bad as a bullfrog and a birthday cake. Are you kidding? It’s a great idea! So what are we waiting for? 1, 2, 3!
I’m on my way to Dino World! So, where’s this wishing well? Wow, the wishing well! So what do we do now? You ask for some wishes—lots and lots of wishes.
Hold your horses! We should think about this first. Okay, we’ve thought. Go ask! Um, hello there! I’m Harry, and I would like some wishes, please.
Well, hello there, Harry! So you’d like some wishes? No problem! Lower the bucket and pull some up. [Music]
These wishes are heavy! That’ll do it, but these are just stones—wishing stones! Each stone is worth a wish. Holy moly! Get ready to start wishing!
Guys, now remember to use your wishes wisely. Harry, oh, this looks like a good spot to make some wishes. What should I wish for?
Start with something simple. Okay, let me think. Hey, I know! I wish I had a pair of new running shoes! It worked!
Of course, it worked! It’s a wishing stone! Come back! No, that was a waste of a wish. It’s okay, Harry. You’ve got lots more. Try again!
I wish I were taller! Hey, I’m tall! Wow! I wish I were smaller. Oh no! Now I’m down here! I’m bigger than Harry! Maybe you’d better wish yourself back to normal.
I wish I were back to normal size. Well, that’s three more wishes you’ve just wasted. I’m sorry! I’m not used to my wishes coming true.
Watch this! This is how it’s done! I wish I was humongous! Now that’s a wish! I think I’ve gone deaf. Yeah, I wish I had some earmuffs!
What happened? You made a wish! Huh? What’s that? Should I wish them away?
Now, what should I wish for? A mountain of candy or perhaps a candy mountain?
You shouldn’t get a wish if you’re going to waste it on something silly! Silly? You’re calling me silly? I’ll show you! I wish I was super smart!
Very interesting! The laws of physics combined with the actuality of magic! He really is super smart! Super boring!
Tori, would you stop doing that? This wish business isn’t working out the way I hoped. Let me try! I wish I was fun!
Oh dear, I knew this wasn’t a good idea! Are you kidding? It’s fun! Thank you, Sid! But the sensible thing—who cares about that?
Tori’s right! You’re always sensible! Psy, talk about no fun! Okay, I wish I wasn’t so sensible!
Oh, my turn! My turn! I do not think Taran should get a wish. He is too young and small!
I’m tired of you guys always bossing me around! I wish I was the boss!
You, Mr. Fun Guy, lose the noisemaker! This is not what I expected! So wish for something else! That’s what the stones are for!
There are only a few left. Maybe we should slow down a little. I don’t want to slow down! I’m the boss, and I say we keep wishing!
Yeah, my turn again! I wish the sun was red!
If you are going to change the color of the sun, you should change it to something extraordinary! I wish the sun was duck egg blue!
I liked it red! I wish it back to red!
Well, I wish it duck egg blue! Red! Duck egg blue! Red!
Stop it! You’ll use up all the stones!
There’s only one stone left, and that’s why it should be mine!
Where are you going, Harry? I’m talking to you, Harry! Harry, I want to wish!
Well, I wish you would just go away!
Oh no! Oh dear! That was the last stone! We’ve got to get him back!
I’m super smart, but even I don’t know how we’re going to do that!
It’s simple! We’ll just go get another wish!
Excuse me, Mr. Wishing Well! It’s me, Harry!
Oh, it’s you! What do you want, Harry?
I need another wish!
Another wish? But you had a whole bucket full!
I know, but I made a bad wish—a number of bad wishes! Can you help me, please? It’s an emergency!
An emergency? Why didn’t you say so? It’s always the same old story! No one bothers to read the small print! One wish will be held back in case of emergencies!
Remember, Harry, that’s your last wish!
You heard what he said! It’s your last wish!
Dory is right! Think about it! You can wish for anything!
I could be king!
You could be a rock! There are so many wonderful things I could wish for, but it wouldn’t be the same without Taran.
I wish everything was back to the way it was before I made my first wish!
I don’t see why you had to change my wish!
Well, I’m glad! My head hurts! I did try to tell you that wishes can be more trouble than a toothache and a tornado!
I’m glad you’re back to your old sensible self, Psy! And next time you try to tell me something, I’m going to listen!
Oh, thank goodness! Everything’s back to normal!
Not quite! Where’s Taran?
Hi, Harry! Let’s go play!
Taran, Mom’s home!
1, 2, 3, jump!
So what do you think? How about spaghetti for dinner?
Spaghetti? Yuck! I wish we could have… Forget I said that! Spaghetti will be just fine!
