Three Wishes

What Major “Mule” Holley told Pannonica when she asked him what his three wishes were was: 

    1. “I’d like to have every person I come in contact with understand my true meaning.”
    2. “I would like to be always comfortable: enough money to allow myself to work if I felt like it, in health and strength..”
    3. “I would like to be able to repay, or reimburse in some measure, everyone who has helped me progress in my life.”
