Jon thought for a moment then said, "I wish Zoe now had daintier and prettier feet than she did this morning when she got up. I wish my feet were men's size 10 and the polish on the nails was clear."
He looked at his feet and saw they were closer to their previous size. There was a hint of gloss to his nails but not enough to cause undue concern. He put on socks and shoes, then went down stairs where he found Zoe sitting, admiring her feet.
"Jon, see how nice my feet look? They are so pretty, like overnight."
Jon looked at her feet and had to admit, they were gorgeous. He just wanted to kiss his sister's dainty toes and rub her feet on his face. Then, he caught himself and figured it was time to leave the house for a while.
He thought to himself, "Isn't there any way of making a wish without it backfiring?"
Then he smiled and said, "I wish I knew the best way to make wishes and not have them go wrong."
