The Magic Finger: A Tale of Magic and Justice

"The Magic Finger" is a children's book written by British author Roald Dahl. Published in 1962, this short story follows a young girl who has an extraordinary power known as the "magic finger" that she uses to bring justice to those who harm animals. The story revolves around the main character, whose name is never given but is simply referred to as the girl with the magic finger. She lives on a farm next to the Gregg family, who are known for their passion for hunting. The girl becomes extremely upset when she sees the Greggs shooting birds with their weapons. In an act of retaliation, the girl points her magic finger at the Greggs' house and uses her power.

In an act of retaliation, the girl points her magic finger at the Greggs' house and uses her power. To everyone's surprise, the magic finger causes the Greggs to undergo a dramatic transformation – their roles are reversed, and they become tiny, fragile creatures with wings instead of arms. The Greggs are left helpless, and their victimized state ultimately teaches them a valuable lesson about empathy and compassion.
