Dandelion seeds blowing in the wind

Wishes made cannot be unmade

Make your wish well

Pick your want and focus

Will it so to make it come true

Close your eyes and draw in your breath

Blow on that dandelion and close your eyes

Make your wish

And as the seeds blow away on the wind

Your wish will come true

***********************************

Wanda read the spell and reread it. She wanted to ensure she had everything right before trying it out, and she wanted this wish to be perfect.

Finally, she felt that she had the spell down pat, so Wanda looked for the perfect dandelion head to blow on. She wanted a full one with all the seeds still intact. Eventually, Wanda found one and was ready to begin the spell.

Wanda recited the spell, blew all the seeds from the dandelion, closed her eyes, and made her wish. She wished to be happy for a change, just once in her life.

When Wanda opened her eyes, she felt no different and was upset that the spell and wish had not worked. She was raging and kicking around that things weren’t fair when suddenly she disappeared. Never to be seen or heard from again.
