When I was little, I loved to toss money into wishing wells. I believed that when people tossed their money, they all wished for money and thats why there was always so many coins in the well. One day, I decided I would go home and use one of my mother's pots. I placed the pot in the garage along with some water and threw a couple of coins in the water, wishing for more money. Each day, I woke up hoping that my wish would come true, however, the well never grew any money for me. After a while, I gave up. I was puzzled.
