They suggested that Percy should try making a wish and see if the rug really had magical powers. Without hesitation, Percy closed his eyes tightly and made a wish to be able to fly like a bird. Suddenly, he felt a gentle gust of wind lifting him off the ground. Astonished, Percy opened his eyes to find himself soaring through the sky, marveling at the breathtaking view below. Over the following days, Percy experimented with the magical rug and discovered that it could make all his wishes come true. He wished for incredible adventures, meeting new friends, and even getting the chance to visit faraway lands. Every wish was granted, filling Percy's life with excitement and joy. However, as Percy grew older, he started realizing that relying on the magical rug for his happiness wasn't fulfilling. He began questioning the true meaning of his wishes and their impact on his personal growth. With a heavy heart, Percy decided to part ways with the magical rug and pursue a life of purpose and fulfillment without relying on shortcuts. Although it was difficult, Percy understood that true happiness came from his own actions and the relationships he built, rather than relying on a magical rug. From that day forward, Percy embraced the challenges of life and strove to make a positive impact on the world around him. Although he missed the adventures and wonders the magical rug brought, he knew that the journey of self-discovery and growth was ultimately more rewarding. In the end, Percy learned an important lesson about the power of self-reliance and how external sources of happiness can never truly replace the satisfaction that comes from within..
