The Magic Fishbone 神奇的鱼骨头（英文版）

The Magic Fishbone is a funny story by Charles Dickens, an English writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded by many as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. It is included in Shirley Temple's Storybook which is an American children's anthology series hosted and narrated by actress Shirley Temple and appeared in the fourth book, Shirley Temple's Favorite Tales Of Long Ago which was illustrated and published by Random House in 1958. This is the extraordinary story of a very nearly ordinary princess named Alicia. Given a magic fish-bone by a good fairy, Alicia can have whatever she wishes-provided she wishes for it at the right time. But it's never clear when the right time is, and sometimes the best magic is no magic at all…. This funny and unexpectedly impressive tale reveals a Victorian world that existed nowhere but in the mind of a child.
