“Go on then… make your wish,” the town well said.
“Well, hold on a second. You had a wish of your own. I heard you muttering before,” Mike replied. He was feeling particularly generous.
“Oh. No, you really shouldn’t—”
“I wish for the well’s wish to come true!” Mike declared. He was pleased with himself until someone suddenly pushed him down into the well. When he came to, a voice shouted down to him.
“Thank you, friend! I did try to warn you. Good luck getting someone to wish you out of there! It only took me forty years.”
Author’s Note: To be fair, the well did try to warn him.
