I Like the Wishbone

I like the wishbone. The frailty of it and the way it breaks, its whiteness. I especially like the way we can earn wishes out of it if we snap it correctly. I almost always win the wishbone snap. Some of the wishes which have pranced my way are: a faerie wand, a rainbow unicorn, a purple dragon with orange eyes, a generous leprechaun. Wishbone snapping lessons? Sure. I could teach you if I trusted humans, but since that is impossible, I will now fade back into the treetops, and you must pretend we have never had this conversation. You do not want lithium do you?
