We stared at the Wishing Tree with wonder.

So majestic, so magical. I could SEE what great things could be done through its powers.
“Cut it down,” I told my foreman, “we’ll use these ribbons to make Wishing Pods, and sell them to the rich & the famous for a 100 Mn apiece.”

Now that’s a really sad story.
I know, but mankind’s greed knows no bounds unfortunately 😦
All too true, I’m afraid.
Seems like a good idea. I hated those red and white thingies anyway.
But the poor magical tree 😦
Ya, probably that bit is going to hurt 😦
Awesome collaboration! Your tale weaves the two photos tegether beautifully. And with a strong message! Well done! 😊👍😊
Thank you so much Kat.
Pretty cynical, but probably true.
Unfortunately yes 🙂
I know you are just having fun with those prompts and understand the power of faith.
Though I have never believed in the power of wishing trees, wishing wells and even prayer flags that flutter, carrying thousands of wishes, I have great respect for those beliefs as faith can move mountains and accomplish incredible things.
Thank you so much Balroop. I was just trying to make a satirical & cynical comment on the greed of mankind 🙂
