{{nihongo|'''''Please! Psammea-don'''''|おねがい!サミアどん|Onegai! Samia-don}} is a Japanese [[anime]] that was broadcast from 2 April 1985 to 4 February 1986 with a total of 78 episodes produced. This anime is based on the 1902 novel ''[[Five Children and It]]'' by [[England|English]] author [[Edith Nesbit]].

The anime differs from the novel in revolving around four children rather than five. Three of the children (Cyril, Robert and Jane) are [[sibling]]s while the fourth (Anne) is their friend and neighbor. The four children encounter the [[Psammead]] who, in the anime, is depicted as being yellow with a blue hat, and more of a grumpy and lazy being than mischievous.

In [[Latin America]] and [[Spain]], the series was known as ''Samed, el duende mágico'' ("Psammead, the magic goblin") and in [[France]] and [[Quebec]] as ''Sablotin''. In the [[Arab world]], it was known as ''Moghamarat Samid'' ("Samid's adventures").
