Challenge #04258-K240: Dawn of a New Day

They saw the cottage just... appear. It was rough looking, but it had a pleasant garden, and there was smoke coming from the chimney. The weather, horrific, and they were starving, tired, and cold. They went inside, napped by the fire, and surprised to be awakened by a soft voice asking them what had happened and who they were? -- Anon Guest

Cold and wet is bad in the wilderness, especially when one is also starving. It takes extra energy to get out of the dangerous situation. In that kind of pickle, the sudden appearance of a little cottage out of nowhere is not questioned. The three Adventurers barely looked at the nice cottage garden, but did take the time to find an unlocked door.

A dying human with a kind heart had been given a Wishing Stone. Clutched in the elderly hand, they made their wish. All children, especially infants, in their world abandoned in middens, abandoned in the forests, or otherwise left to die in would vanish from the place that would otherwise be their deathbeds, and reappear in a place there they could be safe and grow up cared for.

What is this? It's a Wish-Mirror. It shows you the hard, cold, truth to what will happen if you make your wish. It does not sugar coat anything.
