They begin chatting and catching up with each other. They began talking about me. I heard them say I’m a dangerous thing to play with. Nonsense! I bring no harm….on purpose. I simply take something valuable from the wisher‚ as he/she wishes for something valuable. After all‚ beggars can’t be choosers. I hear more bickering about
