the cup one more time and said, 'I'm so lucky to have one book to read, but I'd
like one hundred more books so I can learn all about the world, please.'
Suddenly, a hundred books fell from between the leaves in the tree above him.
Ben couldn't believe it. He was so pleased.

He laughed and laughed, put the old cup in his pocket, carried the books home, sat
down by the fire and read them all.

When Ben's older brothers came in through the door, Ben was still reading. They
were angry. 'Where's our dinner? Where's our vegetable soup?" they shouted.
Ben looked up and said, 'I found an old cup in the field today. I think it
understands about wishes. It gave me a hot chocolate, a warm coat and 100
really interesting books. I'm learning all about the world. It's amazing! I know all
about its lands and its oceans and about all the creatures that live on the Earth
as well now. So ask the silver cup for your dinner.'
