conversations.value: There is no such thing as a free wish.
  
  When you make a wish, you always get burned.  Or cheated.  Or it just does not work out the way you expect.
  
  But what happens to those who get cheated out of their wishes?
  
  Some just go away.  But some brood. Some get bitter.
  
  And some get organised.
  
  There is a secret society, made up of those who have lost out, through unwise wish-making or dishonest delivery.  
  
  They share their experiences, try to learn and grow from them.
  
  One day they will make their chance come round again.  They will be granted 3 wishes.   And they will be ready.  They will have water-tight wishes, that get them what they want, and get even for the past...
