If you could have a trivial wish granted...

If the Mongoose one is Riki-Tiki-Tavi that could be the key. Just start looking for that as part of a collection of stories that would have been printed by a certain time. At least with my book I know it can't be any later than 85-86 because I saw it in elementary school, I doubt it was much earlier.

I know Rudyard Kiping backwards and forwards. This isn't Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.

The story is about a little girl who meets a man in a park who has a mongoose as a pet. She acquires a beaded cobra "pincushion" and begins having terrible dreams. Eventually she falls into a deadly fever, and is saved when the man comes to see her while she is ill and his mongoose destroys the cobra.

I wish I could read chapter books faster.

I would wish either for everything in my house to be unpacked and properly put away, or for a complete series of books that I loved as a kid and have been kicking myself for getting rid of. I jsut repurchased one of my favorite ones, but don't really feel like spending the money for all of them.

This is gonna sound silly...But I wish dolls would literally just...Grow face ups. Like put a little water on them and overnight a complete face up will be on it...And it'd come off like any other face up.

not sure if this counts, but the other day I wished that all people had clean teeth- especially
the elderly. I'm not nuts about teeth or anything, just people's health.
Trivial one..... food would appear in my stomach so I didn't need to eat LoL!!

I wish the stupid computer program that we switched to would actually work the way it was advertised.

That is a major wish, dear. In fact, that would qualify as a miracle.

As a programmer I should probably take offense at that, but I happen to strongly agree. ^.^

Interesting topic. I think I wish my boyfriend would like colours as much as I do. Our house doesn't feel like a home to me because of our different opinions. If I lived alone, my house would be the most colourful place ever. He likes white and grey

This feels so close to what I'm looking for but I can't find any info on where or when this pic is from.
