"The Hobo and the Fairy" by Jack London tells the story of a destitute hobo who encounters a fairy while begging on the streets. The fairy, taking pity on him, grants him three wishes, aiming to improve his desperate circumstances. Initially skeptical, the hobo makes his wishes, which reflect his simple desires for food, warmth, and comfort rather than grandiose ambitions. As the story unfolds, the wishes lead to unexpected outcomes, each teaching the hobo about gratitude, the value of modest aspirations, and the importance of kindness.
