Synopsis:
The children of Midvale Orphanage are being read to by Linda Lee. A boy named Tom Baxter comes in and ruins the fairy tales for the small children. Linda decides to teach the boy a lesson.

As Supergirl, Linda dresses as a fairy and flys in through the window. Tom believes she is fake and forces her to grant him three wishes. Supergirl complies using her super-powers to fake magic.

After performing the magic deeds, Supergirl uses her powers to make it look like Tom’s nose has become like Pinocchio. Finally, she hypnotizes the children into believing the experience was only a dream. Tom does not spoil the fairy tales any further.
