The magician gave Ah Fo three wishes because;
- The magician is grateful that Ah Fo rescued him from the evil magician.
Ah Fo was a kind and thoughtful person who never wanted to see any creature in trouble. This was the reason he rescued a bee that was stuck in a spider's web. Unknown to him, this bee was a magician that was trapped by another evil magician.
After he took the bee along with him to his house, he woke up the next day to see that it had left after dropping a note of gratitude and directions to where the old magician could be found.
On finding the magician, he was rewarded with three brass pennies that he could use to make wishes.
