Publisher's Synopsis
Poor Old Misery. She and her old cat, Rutterkin, ain't got two pennies to rub together. And the one thing of value she does have - a tree, filled with good eating apples - is regularly ransacked by humans and animals of all kinds! So, one day, when a surprise visitor grants her a wish, Old Misery wishes that anyone who tries to steal her apples will end up stuck to the tree! At first, it seems like her wish was a terrific idea, but then Old Misery decides to use her new power on another surprise visitor. And she learns what may be the most miserable lesson of all: be careful what you wish for!
