They looked around and noticed that the voice was coming from the old well itself!

The well continued, 'I am a magic well! If you bring me a small gift every day for a week, I will grant you a wish!'

Excited, Lila and Leo agreed to bring the well a gift every day without telling anyone about the magic.
