One morning on the way to school, Josyne sees an old woman sitting on the floor crying. Josyne goes to the woman and asks her why she is crying. The woman tells Josyne that she has not been eating for a week. Without thinking much, Josyne gives all the food that she has to the woman. The food is suppose to be eaten during the school recess time.
The woman is so thankful to Josyne and she gives her an old container (like a Tupperware container). Josyne actually does not like it, as the container is so old and smelly. But in order not to hurt the old woman's feeling, she just takes the container and thanks the woman.
When comes back from school, Josyne just puts the container on the table and forgets about it. Until one day, Josyne needs a container to put her unwanted 5 cent coins which she will donate to old folks home. She sees the old container on the table, without thinking much, she just uses it to store her coins.
After few weeks, mummy asks Josyne whether she has anything to donate to old folks home as mummy is visiting there today. Josyne remembers her coins and opens the container on the table. To her surprise, the whole container is full of 5 cent coins! She remembers that she only puts in less than 10 coins, and now there are hundreds of it. She passes all the coins to mummy and mummy is also a bit surprised that Josyne has saved so much money for old folks home.
Josyne then decides to do another test, she puts her pencil into the container before goes to sleep. She even writes down, "I only put one pencil in the container" on a paper. The next morning, the first thing she does is to open the container. This time, the container is full of pencils, hundreds of them!
Finally Josyne realises that she has a magic container.
