Violet and Billie are seated on a polar bear skin by the fire-place, tired out from playing so hard. Out in the yard Hank, the mule, is also lonesome and weary. A fortune-teller comes to the door, and tl^ey tell the old woman they are alone. She gives them a ring, which she says is a wishing ring; that every wish of the owner's will come true. The little girl pays the fortune-teller the few pennies she has in her bank.
Seeing Hank in the yard, Violet wishes that he had a bag of oats, and immediately she sees a nose-sack of oats appear. They wish for a story book; it appears and they look at the pictures of the "Babes in the Wood." A spark flies from the fire and bums Billie's hand, and because he petulantly pounds the polar bear skin, Violet, to scare him, wishes that the bear would come to life.

The children think of the story book and wish that they were the real Babes in the Wood. Their clothes change into rags and they become bare-footed. But suddenly they see a big tiger creeping upon them and, terrified, they begin to run in the opposite direction. The tiger continues to follow them, and finally Violet wishes that the birds would cover them up the way they did the Babes in the Wood, so that the tiger could not find them. A crow starts to fulfill the wish, and Hank and the two children are soon all covered up except their faces. The tiger comes along and the crow drops a huge leaf upon his nose, causing him to start to fight with the leaf, for he thinks it is some one attacking him.
Violet and Billie, lying close together on the polar bear skin, are awakened from their deep sleep by the braying of Hank, who has stuck his head through the window. They jump up, rub their eyes and Violet looks at her finger for the ring, but there is none there. They realize that it was all a dream.
