If only everyone had the same attitude. Most people tend to think that they and their group are superior. I applaud the mother and her belief in her child. Yes, magic should be for everyone, regardless of looks, colour, race. Everyone should have the chance to dream and succeed.

We all have dreams, or should have. Black, white, blue, or green, we all need to realize our many similarities, and stop feeding our differences. Thanks for sharing.

I so wish we did. I love meeting people from different countries, cultures... I really enjoy having students who aren't Spanish because I'm always learning new things from them.
Thanks for reading.
Comment from Navada
I really like the hopefulness and possibilities which spring forth from this story. I also like the messaging. Wouldn't you love to think that every child, and especially the ones in Gaza, had a magic sprite to help them. Thanks for the share.

Yes, it's so very unfair. It's difficult to understand this planet we live on sometimes...
Thanks for reading.

The picture was wonderful and the two videos were amazing, I enjoyed them both, Heather. I was thrilled as Maya when she asked, "If she believed in fairies!" She opened her hands and the sprite flew out. Blessings n Hugs!!!

Comment from Daylily
We all need to keep our dreams alive. Although they may change over the years, it is important to hope for something meaningful. Unexpected blessings are a kind of magic and can change our lives. I like the excellent surprise ending in your posting very much.

Excellent entry for the 80 Word Flash Fiction contest. You grasped the form well. Nice presentation. Your descriptive words flow well expressing clear mental imagery. I like the message... everyone deserves a better life.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
his line carries the meaning of the whole account. Some may find it offensive, but isn't that too bad. Maya's best friend is speaking the truth, the entitled ones: "'Ms. Wilson's white. Magic's only for whites.'"

Thanks for reading, Liz.
I want to believe I'm not racist, I love people in general and don't see colour or religion... In fact, I think it's fascinating to talk to those who are different from us. But maybe I'm kidding myself.
-
Interesting you bring that up. I like to think of myself as I open for any differences around me, however there are times when I think, it's old tapes from things from my upbringing. I have these terrible biased attitudes not the way I would live it's not even the way I believe but these tapes come in. I can hear my father's phrases He was worse than Archie Bunker. And now I've noticed they've brought back the Archie Bunker series on television.
-
I'd never heard of Archie Bunker, but I've looked him up.
I guess stereotypes will never die. And, sadly, nowadays we live in a truly divided world.x
-
To give you a sampling of my childhood my father was worse than aren't you bunker.
-
Sorry to hear that... I hope your mum was at least a great mum.x
