Miss Lina's Ballerinas and the Wicked Wish

Summary

Then one sunny day, a guest came to view

Miss Lina’s ten dancers plié and tendu.

Miss Lina announced, “This is Mister Brisé.

He’ll watch you take class,” she explained, “and he may

invite you to dance with the City Ballet.”

Miss Lina’s ten ballerinas—Christina, Edwina, Sabrina, Justina, Katrina, Bettina, Marina, Regina, Nina, and Tony Farina—are thrilled by the chance to be in the City Ballet’s production of Sleeping Beauty. But when nervous Regina is given the undesirable part of the rat while all the other girls gets to dance the waltz, she starts turning green with envy. If only someone would get sick, she wishes, then she would get to dance the waltz, as well!
