A mysterious delivery arrives at Pigasso's Place. When Pigasso opens the box, he discovers a beautiful lantern. Cassius the cash register tells Pigasso that it is a magic lantern, but Pigasso refuses to make a wish because he doesn't believe in magic. Cassius, Pookie, and Gabby teach Pigasso about the magic of the natural world--like sunsets and caterpillers that turn into butterflies. Pigasso finally decides to try and make a wish, but he accidentally makes Pookie lose his ability to speak. Gabby learns the alphabet so that she can help Pookie talk again.
