Save
Most people say if you tell a wish it won’t come true. But I don’t think wishes work like that. I don’t believe there’s some bad-tempered wish-fairy with a clipboard, checking off whether or not you’ve told…But it’s a long shot I’ll get my wish, so even if there is a fairy in charge of telling, it won’t matter.’I wish everyone had the same chances,’ I say. ‘Because it stinks a big one that they don’t. What about you? What did you wish for?”Grape soda.’I can’t help smiling. ‘You wished for grape soda?’ He doesn’t answer, and I pull my hand from my pocket. Taking one of his fluttering hands, I wrap his fingers tightly around a dollar. ‘Wish granted, toad.’He takes off running and Dad runs after him.I close my eyes and make a new wish.I wish the refreshment stand has grape soda.
