Neopedia : The Wishing Well

Located in the northwest corner of the Neopian Plaza, the Wishing Well is a special place where countless Neopians come every day, hoping to receive a special item that would ordinarily be beyond their means. Placing their dreams on a handful of NPs and a solemn whisper, most return home with empty pockets and grumbling bellies. However, for a lucky few, the Wishing Well is the answer to their pleas and the deliverer of dreams come true.

...Hearing the front door close, Petro called to his sister Katara, who'd returned from scrambling for handouts at the Money Tree. "Katara, can you come here?" he groaned weakly. She rushed to see what was wrong. "What am I going to do?" he mumbled. "This itching... it's unbearable!" He'd been on his way back from the Collectable Card Shop when overcome by a sudden burst of red blotches that itched like mad. "You've got to help me... I can't take it any more!"

"Don't worry about it, Petro. I'll be back in no time with a slice of NeoPox pizza that'll make you right as rain." With that, she ran to her room and, lifting the mattress of her bed, grabbed a secret stash of NPs she'd been saving for emergencies. Within seconds she was on her way to see the Shop Wizard, with hopes of finding a bargain.

"Ah young lady, how can I help you today?" the Shop Wizard inquired. After placing her request with the wizard, Katara learned that due to a sudden outbreak of NeoPox, no shop was selling NeoPox pizza for less than five thousand NPs, which was more than double the amount that she had. "Well, if you're really desperate, there's always the Wishing Well. Who knows, you might get lucky..."

"I guess this is it," she sighed, clutching her bag of NPs. As she waited her turn to approach the well, Katara chatted nervously with a Bruce who was also in line. "Say, have you ever done this before?" she asked.

"Yeah," he answered, "I come every couple of weeks... you know, its got to work eventually. I take it this is your first time, right? Well let me give you some advice; I've found that it's always best to give as much as you can. In a strange way, it's almost as if the well knows how bad you really need something."

Standing before the well, Katara whispered the words "NeoPox pizza," looked at the bag in her hand, then said, "Well, here goes nothing!" as she threw all her savings into the well...

...That night, she listened as her brother moaned feverishly. Being very careful not to catch the NeoPox from her brother, she gave him his favourite blanket and some hot soup, but it was no use.

The following morning, Katara was woken by an ear-splitting yell. Startled, she jumped to her feet. Still half-asleep, she ran to Petro's room, where she saw her little brother jumping for joy as he stuffed the remains of a massive slice of NeoPox pizza into his mouth...

Giving out prizes four times a day, the Wishing Well does its best to accommodate Neopians in need. If you're ever a little short on funds and sorely in need of something, remember the Wishing Well is always an option. Like the Shop Wizard said, "Who knows, you might get lucky?"
