Paperback. THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER.Every day, a hardworking donkey watches a flock of sheep grazing peacefully in the green pasture next door. They eat. They play. They rest beneath the trees.And the donkey begins to wonder: "Why can't my life be like theirs?"The more he watches, the more he wishes. Then, one day, a clever sheep gives him an idea. It sounds simple. It sounds harmless. And it might just change his life forever.But the donkey is about to discover that what we see from the other side of the fence is never the whole story.Years later, a young donkey named Lucky arrives on the farm. As the old donkey teaches him about work, patience, and life, Lucky discovers something that makes him see the sheep, the fence, and his own life in an entirely different way.The Stupidity of "I WISH" is a heartfelt fable about envy, gratitude, honesty, wise choices, and second chances.It reminds us that we don't have to stop dreaming of a better life.But before we wish for someone else's life, perhaps we should ask ourselves: Do we really know what their life is like?Because sometimes.the life we envy isn't the life we think it is.And sometimes, the greatest gift isn't getting the life we wished for.It's getting a second chance to understand the life we already have.

Have you ever looked at someone else's life and thought, “I wish my life were like theirs”?
Every day, a hardworking donkey watches the sheep on the other side of the fence. They seem to have everything he wants: time to eat, play, rest, and enjoy the green pasture.
But what looks perfect from far away may be very different up close.
When envy leads the donkey to follow a foolish piece of advice, one decision changes his life. Years later, a young donkey named Lucky encounters the same fence and begins to discover a lesson the old donkey never fully understood.
The Stupidity of “I WISH” is a modern animal fable about envy, gratitude, honesty, wise choices, consequences, perspective, and second chances.
Through an engaging farm story, young readers are encouraged to think about:
• Comparing themselves with others
• Appreciating what they already have
• Thinking before following someone else's advice
• Understanding that choices have consequences
• Learning from mistakes instead of being defined by them
• Balancing hard work with rest
• Remembering that we rarely know another person's whole story
The book also includes discussion questions for families and classrooms, making it especially suitable for shared reading and conversations between children and adults.
Because sometimes the grass only looks greener on the other side because we cannot see the whole field.
