In a magical place called "The Village of Wishes," an animal embarks on a journey to help children remember the wishes or promises they once made.

Kang Yu received a peculiar invitation letter. At first, he thought it was a mistake, but even when he didn't collect it, the invitation would mysteriously return to his mailbox. Kang Yu initially didn't pay much attention to it.

On a Wednesday when a cold wave hit, he saw a polar bear pushing a vending machine. It turned out that this bear had come from the distant Village of Wishes on a floating ice block to help him fulfill his promise.

Out of curiosity, Kang Yu followed the bear to the special vending machine and ordered a red ice cream to try. Oh my! It was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating it, and his mouth turned red from the ice cream... Oh no! What should he do to return to normal?
The bear told Kang Yu that he must remember and fulfill the promise he once made for his mouth to return to normal.

【The Author's Words】
There are no insignificant wishes in the world.

When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I had a fervent wish—to travel around the world. Especially after reading fairy tales where the protagonist, despite being told it was impossible by others, completed their journey according to their plan, I was filled with envy. But at that time, I was just a primary school student. Not to mention traveling abroad, I had never even taken a plane.

"If you fulfill my wish, I will surely be a good person. If you fulfill my wish, you can take away one of my most important things." I prayed to a deity every day.

Then, with this dream in my heart, I began to study diligently the knowledge of the countries I wanted to visit.

The friends from around the world who appeared in fairy tales were as enthusiastic as real friends. Thinking about meeting these friends in person made me excited and full of anticipation.

So, has my wish come true?
