The Monkey

1) if I had 3 wishes it would be the following:
                 - The ability to pull money out of my pocket when ever I want to. I would like to wish for that because it would be awesome! think about it. I'll be able to pull out 100 when ever I want. I would be come rich.

                 -The ability to move at the speed of light. I would like to do that because if you move fast enough it would seem like everything around you will go super slow motion. Imagine all the funny pranks you could do on people.

                 -my last wish would be for a time machine. if I had a time machine I would go back to when the dinosaurs got extinct. That or go back to when I burned my grandmas flowers.

2) I do not believe in superstitions. Making a wish if you see a shooting star, or if you blow the candles out on your cake with one breath. I remember I blew the candles out with one breath for the past 15 years and my wishes never came true. when I was six or seven I wished to walk on water and it never came true. that is one reason why I do not believe in superstitions.
