Prologue The old lady looked feeble. The minute our subway train started, she was going to keel over. Then she'd be a sick passenger, and the train would stop while we waited for an ambulance, and I'd be late for school. Plus she looked terrified . I gave her my seat. I helped her into it. " Thank you, dear. You have done me a good turn." Her tone was like music to the ears ,so round, sweet and juicy like an anchorwoman's. " And you know what they say about a good turn ." " That's okay." I said . Was she gonna tip me ? I thought " I don't want anything." I added. " Yes, you do Anabell. You want many things . I'll give you one ." How did she know my name ? The train stopped at the twenty- eighth street . I thought about going to another car, but I was getting off at the next stop. " What is your wish ?" She asked . The train started moving again . "I know , whether you tell me or not . But you ought to put it positively." The train stopped. We were between stations. In the silence
