(2) PS Cynthia wants a pony for her birthday, instead she gets a goldfish. Just as she's about to dump her present, the fish says: "I will give you what you wish for if you will...set me free." The clean art and design are a good match for the simple story, with its subtle yet effective message about the magic of companionship.
