One day she meets Tim, a lame newsboy who can't sell as many papers as his competitors. She purchases a paper, then offers him her storybook, but Tim doesn't believe in fairies and doesn't accept the book. Sylvia is so overjoyed by the news that her parents have engaged a great European specialist to cure her that she falls asleep and dreams that her fairy godmother gives her three wishes. Wishing to see Tim, the little girl finds herself transported to the little newsboy's wretched home. She then wishes that Tim would be cured of his lameness and immediately the little newsboy throws away his crutches. The godmother then tells her that she has one more wish to make and that she should wish for her deformity to disappear, but being touched by Tim's parents' poverty, she wishes that they be given a lot of money. She then awakens and tells her parents of her dream. The film's end proves that fairies must be real: every one of the dreams comes true--and Sylvia is cured.
