Just before the river broke up he saw to it that a few of his own cattle, and with them some Wishbone cows and a steer or two, were ranging in a deep, bushy coulee, isolated and easily passed by. He had driven them there, and he left them there. That spring he worked again with the Wishbone.
“I wish you could get it out for me!” said Solomon with a look of distress. “All the wishing in the world won’t help you,” she answered, “unless we can find some way of removing the wishbone so you can wish on that. Then I’m sure you would feel better at once.” “This is strange,” Solomon mused. “All my life I’ve been swallowing my food without chewing it.
“Well, well!” exclaimed Grandpa Croaker in such a deep bass voice that he made the dishpan on the gas stove rattle as loudly as if Bully or Bawly were drumming on it with a wishbone from the Thanksgiving turkey. “Let me dig the well,” went on the old gentleman frog. “I just love to shovel the dirt, and I can dig a well so deep that no fish will ever get into it.” “Very well,” said Mr.
And you ought not to have any more trouble. But let me examine you!” she said, prodding him in the waistcoat once more. “This is odd!” she continued a bit later. “I can feel the wishbone more plainly than ever.” “That’s my own wishbone!” Solomon cried indignantly. “I’ve grown so thin through not eating that it’s a wonder you can’t feel my backbone, too.” Aunt Polly Woodchuck looked surprised.
"The Awkward Man found Paddy this morning and had started to bring us word before Cecily ever thought of the wishbone. Do you mean to say you believe he wouldn't have come walking up our lane just when he did if she had never thought of it?" "I mean to say that I wouldn't mind if I had several wishbones of the same kind," retorted Peter stubbornly.
When he reached the house he was very happy, but made no allusion to his experience in Wishbone Valley, for fear of being laughed at. "Come, Donald," said his mother, shortly after his arrival, "it is almost bedtime; you had better eat that drumstick and retire."
To think of him shut up there and to know that I did it I can't bear it!" She caught his arm. She pressed her forehead against it. "Kent, isn't there some way to get it back? If I should find it and and shoot it and pay the Wishbone what it's worth oh, any amount or shoot the cow or " she raised her face imploringly to his "tell me, pal or I shall go stark, raving mad!"
"Because I have greater qualities than bringing good luck!" the wishbone answered. "The children placed me here to dry, for they have heard that I make wishes come true! And if you keep your eyes and ears open you will see just what a great object a wishbone really is!"
It was only two or three evenings later when, on their way back from the site of an historic Indian village on the other side of the island, they walked their horses slowly around the Wishbone Loop, the ostensible reason being that, as Blair had already discovered, it commanded the widest view of the ocean at sunset. He was the first to speak when they struck again into the main trail.
"Well, I hope your Sunday School will do yez good," said Peg, rather grumpily. But she relented again at the last and gave Cecily a wishbone. "Whatever you wish on that will come true," she said. "But you only have the one wish, so don't waste it." "We're so much obliged to you for all your trouble," said the Story Girl politely. "Never mind the trouble.
