Dear Kristallia, thank you for your e-mail.You said I was very fair when I changed the Greggs into birds.You are right when you said that it was because the Greggs killed the ducks.Before I put the Magic Finger I felt very angry for the Greggs and Mrs Winter.Next time I will try to follow your advise, to advise the Greggs to stop killing animals.It was nicereading your ideas.Isee you next time.Your friend, the Girl.Bye!
Hi Helen,
thank you for writing to me about the Greggs and the Magic Finger. I am very glad that you agree with me for putting my magic finger on the Greggs.
When i aw the Greggs killing animals I was about to loose it. Then I yell to them to stop but they didn’t listen to me so without thinking I put the Magic Finger on them.
Also, I want to thank you for giving me your advices. I think there are brilliant ideas and I would like to use them next time.
It was a pleasure for me reading your e-mail
Best wishes,
The Girl with the Magic Finger
Dear Nasia, thank you for writing to me. I like reading others’ opinions.
Plus, I agree with you, as you writen you believe that I am powerfull and my powers give good lessons and so do I belive that!
Also, I believe that I may be a little harmful sometimes, but I always somehow teach a good lesson. Just like it happend with the Greggs, they had been through a really bad night, but, at least I can see the that, the expierience they had been through, really improved them. Because, as you know, the day after their incident, I visited their place and somehow I saw, that, sudenly they starded adoring animals ,which we both know, was a miracle!
In addition, I think that your advice is not helpful at all(no offence). Because, unfortunaly, I can not control my powers.
Thank you again for your email. It was nice reading your ideas and I hope you understand me better now. Write back soon!
Best wishes, Nasia
Yours, the girl.
Dear ,Jim
Thank you for your e mail .You said that when I get cross I put the M.F. and understand that you are right. Unfortunately ,I can’t explain my feelings because they are too strong when I feel them. I guess that I should apologised for my actions but I don’t feel sorry for them. I understand what you mean with your advice but it is hard for me to keep calm when I see someone who behaves badly. Thank you again for your e mail. It was nice reading your idea but I hope you understand my feelings now.
Greetings,
the girl with the M.F.
