Make-a-wish

 

I stood at the side of the wishing well and looked down into the darkness.  I wondered how many wishes had been answered and which ones.  Was there a secret to which received answers.  Who had gotten their wishes answered, and what was involved in making them come true?

Maybe if I better understood the process, I’d have a better chance of knowing what to wish for.  And just how long did all this take?  Did a wish have to be down there in the water for any certain amount of time.  Which begs the question, are all wishes waterproof? 

And which is the best denomination of coin to use?  Is there any correlation between the value of the coin tossed and the importance or speediness of the wish?  It would seem that a penny would be the most frequently tossed coin, while the fifty-cent piece would be like the express check-out line at the supermarket.   A top priority indeed.

 

I’d like to have the answers to all of these questions, but I’m not going to wish for them.
