  Lady Aberlin : Well, sometimes it's fun to have your wishes come true.

  Mr. McFeely : Yeah, Mr. Rogers and I were thinking about it even before X wished for the orange.

  Lady Aberlin : Yes, wishes don't just happen, do they?

  Mr. McFeely : No, ma'am. No, ma'am. Well I'm very busy today, Lady Aberlin. Good day to you. Good day.

• X the Owl : Henrietta, guess what?

  Henrietta Pussycat : Meow?

  X the Owl : This orange didn't come by my wishing for it.

  Henrietta Pussycat : Meow meow. Meow meow meow meow feel?

  X the Owl : I feel ALOT better. Boy, now I can wish anything and not have to worry.

• X the Owl : I'm not so sure I want wishes to come true.

  Lady Aberlin : Why not?

  X the Owl : Well, Henrietta, you know Henrietta Pussycat, my neighbor, she said to me, "What if all your wishes would come true, X?"

  Lady Aberlin : And then what did you say?

  X the Owl : Well, I thought about the times when I'm angry and wished for bad things. I wished my tree would fall down and all kinds of bad things.

  [singing] 

  X the Owl : One time I wished that my tree would fall down/ And hit someone else on the head/ I was mad all the day/ And I just couldn't say/ Why owls and people and things get that way/ I wished for some terrible thing/ I'd say/ Especially trees falling down/ But that wish certainly didn't come true/ 'Cause scary mad wishes don't make things come true/No, scary mad wishes don't make things come true.
