A candle mysteriously reignited as a boy dreamed of becoming the world's richest in eastern China.

The funny video was filmed in the city of Linyi in Shandong Province on May 7.

A boy was seen making a wish before blowing out the candles on an apple. When asked about his wish by his mother, the boy responds, "To become the world's richest."

Suddenly, the extinguished candle reignites, sparking laughter among the children present.

The mother, Ms. Wu, was surprised when the child made such a big wish.

She remarked in a local interview that the child found some candles at home and asked her if he could use them to make a wish.

Since it was quite late that day and they couldn't buy a cake, the child's mother substituted an apple for the cake.

After the video gained some popularity on Chinese social media, some netizens reminded the mother that these candles might be intended for magic performances.

Reflecting on it later, the child's mother recalled purchasing the candle at a 2 Yuan (£0.22) shop and not noticing at the time that it wasn't a regular candle.
