5.3

“This little boy has a great imagination and wishes for a lot of fun things (my favorite being rain in seven different colors and flavors!), but at the end of the day, he wants something real and extraordinary. He finds it in the song of birds in a nest, showing that even ordinary, everyday things are remarkable.”
