I fried chicken. "He" turned to "Her"
and said, "Well have the wish bone.
Let US try our fate and see what luck
has in store for u.s." Together they
broke "the pully bone". "She." get
, ting the longer piece, said, "Well, it
, doesn't mean anything. Why
haven't anything to wish for" "He''
;, replied, "You haven't? Let me wish
for YOU" You have heard Of that

in life is to change youth and maid
