“I would like my grandfather to smile more. This way everyone will know how nice and kind he is”.

The following morning, when Jane woke up and saw her grandfather preparing breakfast she didn´t notice any change and so assumed that her wish had not been granted.

Everybody was very surprised and realised how wrong they had been and knew that it is not fair to judge anyone before getting to know them.
