"But Herman will come back. We have to do something for
Herman," Angel insisted.
"Let's all think about what we can do for Herman,"
Butterfly said.
They huddled together deep in thought. Finally Angel jumped
up and down, clapping her hands. "I know what we can do! We can wish
Herman better!"
"Growl. What good will that do?" Lou asked.
"I wish for lots of things, but that doesn't mean I ever get everything I
wish for. Usually I don't get anything I wish for," he frowned.
"Yes," the others agreed with Lou. "Wishing
won't help Herman to get better."
"It's better than doing nothing at all," Angel
protested.
Butterfly sat on Angel's back. "Angel's
right. Wishing is better than doing nothing at all." She looked at Lou.
"Sometimes our wishes don't come true because we may be wishing for
something that's not good for us, like too many treats. If we had too many
treats, then that could make us sick. Or wishing for it never to rain again.
That wouldn't be a good idea because then the fields would dry up and we would
have no food to eat or water to drink. But when a wish is for someone else
instead of ourselves, then that's the nicest kind of wish there is."
