Dorothy's eyes were closed. Her hands were out in front of her. 

" Dorothy, no peeking". Emily put a pair of shoes in Dorothy's hands. " Dorothy, open your eyes".

She saw the shoes. " Mommy's dancing shoes". She put them on. She began to totter around the room. " Thank you Auntie Em".

Uncle Henry walked in. " I wish I had a pair of magic silver shoes".

Dorothy's ears perked up. " Magic?".

Henry smiled. " Of course".

" To make them magic". Emily thought for a moment. " You need to tap your heels three times and make a wish".

Dorothy tapped the shoes heels three times.

Henry looked at his niece. " Now make a wish".

Grinning, Dorothy closed her eyes.
