Wish

I went to the wishing well. 

I tossed in my quarter and said I wished I was happy. 

The wishing well said it had quit recently and was now just a well. 

I asked if I could get my quarter back. 

The well said it wasn't able to physically give me a refund. 

I said okay and asked the well why it quit. 

The well said it wished for a more quiet life. 

I apologized for the interruption and walked away.
