In this listener-submitted story, "El Deseo del Niño" or “The Child’s Wish”, a boy makes an unexpected friend at the edge of the forest—a talking toad with the power to grant wishes. But instead of asking for toys or treasure, the boy makes a wish that just might change a heart forever. This magical tale is all about kindness, courage, and the power of thinking beyond yourself.
