Three wishes tale ends in comic misfortune
A couple seeks luck with a fairy granting three wishes. The wife’s vanity and a clumsy mishap with a yard of pudding lead to a pudding nose and heated exchanges. The husband’s impulse to outdo her prompts a string of ill fated wishes, ending with both in embarrassment as the fairy departs. Nearby, a serenade turns into a public farce as Bilkins and his band face ridicule and threats from Amelia’s father.
