驴小弟和爸爸妈妈住在橡子路，他喜欢收集各种各样的小石头。
一个下雨天，他捡到了一颗红得像火焰的小石头。这时，冰冷的雨水打在他背上，他说：“真希望雨不要下了。”结果雨真的停了。啊？难道他捡到了一块魔法石？于是，他把小石头放在地上，说：“我希望再下雨。”结果电闪雷鸣，下起了大雨。他欢呼起来：“从今往后，我要什么就会有什么了！”
他希望太阳再从天上出现，希望左脚的一个疙瘩消失，这些愿望都实现了。他开始往家走去，他要用这粒石头让爸爸妈妈惊喜一下。半道上，他碰到了一头饥饿的狮子，他本来可以许愿让狮子消失，或是变成蝴蝶、菊花和蚊子，可他吓坏了，“我希望变成石头。”话一说完，他就变成了一块岩石。
变成了岩石的驴小弟躺在草莓山上，身边就是那粒魔法石，可他无法把它拿起来。他绝望了，最后驴小弟睡着了。
驴小弟没有回家，爸爸妈妈快要急疯了，日子一天天过去了，他们到处寻找驴小弟。
五月里有一天，驴爸爸带驴妈妈去野餐，他说：“我们要打起精神来，尽管我们的宝贝儿子没有了，我们还是要像从前一样好好地生活。”驴妈妈正好坐在驴小弟变成的岩石上，妈妈温暖的体温唤醒了冬眠的驴小弟，他真想喊：“爸爸、妈妈，我在这里！”可是他发不出声音。后来，爸爸发现了那粒红石头，就捡起来放到了岩石上。当他们坐下来开始吃东西时，驴妈妈突然激动地说：“我有一种奇怪的感觉，觉得儿子还活着，而且就在附近。”“我在！我在！”驴小弟想大声地喊出来，但喊不出来。
“我希望变回原来的我！”驴小弟想。结果一眨眼的工夫，他就真的变了回来。
