Synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Josh Baskin tries to impress a girl by going on a carnival ride but is rejected as he is too short. Dejected, he inserts a coin into an antique fortune-teller machine called Zoltar, and makes a wish to be "big". It dispenses a card stating "Your wish is granted," but Josh notices the machine has been unplugged the entire time.
