"What do you think that was about?" asked Ashley. She and Tom had just gotton out of the shop and were walking down the street. Adam and Sara had already gone ahead and were probably close to home right now.
"No idea. Might as well see what's in this box" replied Tom.
After a nod from Ashley, Tom gently opened up the box, as it was made to be opened easily. What was inside confused both of them. It was a clear jar was appeared to be some sort of candies. They were a variety of different colors, which Tom assumed to be different tastes and such. Tom was confused as to how this jar was so important.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Maybe it's a new product? It was a free gift after all, so it wouldn't be too grand" said Ashley.
"I guess you're right" replied Tom. He should have known that a free giveaway wouldn't be something eye-opening. If Tom had to guess, there were probably about 30 candies in the jar. Then, after looking inside, Ashley found a little note.
"Hey, perhaps this can explain things" said Ashley, picking up the note and reading it to herself.
"What does it say?" asked Tom.
"It talks about how these candies contain special powers that reveal themselves when they are eaten by someone. It also says to be very careful about how one phrases what they say when they eat these candies" said Ashley. Tom had no idea what she was talking about.
"What the heck does that mean?" asked Tom.
"I imagine it means these candies grant wishes or something like that to anyone who eats one of them. I think that's what it means anyway" said Ashley, not 100% sure.
"Well, that's just great. Anything else?" asked Tom, a little irritated at the moment.
"Just another bit that says that some wishes may take longer than others and some might not be reversable for a certain amount of time" said Ashley.
"So we're supposed to believe we just got a jar of magic candies? Get real" said Tom, hardly in the mood right now.
"Calm down, Tom. It doesn't really matter anyway. It was a free gift and we can still eat them, regardless of the magic part" reasoned Ashley. Tom saw her point and nodded his head.
"That's true" he complied.
"Why don't I try one?" asked Ashley.
"Go ahead" said Tom, not really caring. Ashley opened the lid and took out one of the treats. She gently placed it in her mouth, smiling a bit as they did.
"Ah, they're pretty tasty" said Ashley, enjoying it.
