Colorfully homespun John and Martha think about how best to use their three wishes. Two wishes down, and they have gained only sausages (John's unintended wish)--and those are stuck to John's nose (Martha's unintended wish). Souhami keeps the tale spare and humorous. Readers will revel in the zesty final portrait of the happy couple toasting their ultimate good fortune.
