"Wizard!" The king's face was red.
"Do something!"
"I'll look for a spell!" Tom said.
Tom ran past the Royal Kitchen.
"Tom! Help!" Cook cried.
"All our food has disappeared.
There is nothing to eat!"
Then Tom heard screams from outside.
He hurried to the Royal Stables.
All the horses were running around the yard.
The tiger was chasing them!
"Help, Tom!" the stable boy cried.
"Do something, Wizard!" Dirk shouted.
"I'll try!" Tom called.
He raced to the royal grandmother's room.
He knocked hard on her door.
"Your Majesty? May I come in?"
A servant opened the door.
Tom blinked in surprise.
The royal grandmother sat on the king's throne.
On a table was a huge feast.
The royal grandmother waved happily at Tom.
"Wizard!" she cried.
"The wishing cap is wonderful!
All my wishes came true!"
Tom gulped. "Yes, Your Majesty, but . . .
Your wishes have made everyone else unhappy."
"What?" said the royal grandmother.
"The king has no throne," Tom went on.
"There's nothing to eat.
And your tiger is scaring the horses.
Please undo your wishes!"
The royal grandmother frowned.
She folded her arms.
"Too bad!" she said.
"I will not undo my wishes!"
