Wishes
I
stand
at
the
road,
i
look
to
the
right
Nothing.
I
look
to
the
left
Nothing.
I
look
straight
in
front
Silence.
I
put
the
paper
in
my
mouth,
i
recite
the
old
spells,
i
walk
on
a
little,
i
see
a
calabash,
inside
is
a
brass
crown.
I
bend
to
pick
it
up,
it
says
'NO
But
you
may
have
six
wishes.'
i
say:
'
O
crown
of
Gold,
Give
me
money,
A
wife
like
(Jeniffer),
A
child,
Good
health,
Success,
And
finally
be
in
Paradise.
