The children were playing by a river, but they were not having much fun. They were all arguing about who was the best wizard. Char smiled.He knew how to help the children. He walked up to them and said, "I will show you how to be a real wizard." The children were excited. They gathered around Char and listened closely as he told them about the magic of friendship.He told them that the most powerful magic is the magic of friendship. The children listened intently. They had never thought about magic in that way before. They realized that Char was right.The magic of friendship was the most powerful magic of all.
