Would you eat it?
Ok, so... let's pretend you walk around in a forest for some reason (searching for blueberries, maybe?) and then you find a rather strange-looking mushroom. When you walk closer, the mushroom says "please, don't eat me!". Yes, that's right! You've found the one and only living mushroom in the world.
Now, you would probably either go like "WTF?" or "OMG! HAXX!" but let's pretend you actually managed to come up with a... well... NOT extremely retarded and nerdy phrase, for a change, like: "Who are you?" or "How come you can talk?"
The mushroom explains that he/she/it contains a magical, un-natural energy that makes this possible. This magical energy is also so powerful that if someone would eat him/her/it thus consuming the magical energy, the one who eated him/her/it would be granted 1 wish.
Yeah, so by eating the mushroom, you would be able to have ALMOST any one wish granted. The magical energy still got its limmits so wishing for more wishes, wishing for world-domination and wishing to be god etc, wouldn't work. But almost anything other than that would be possible. Also, even if you wished for the ability to revive people, you still wouldn't be able to revive the mushroom as the magical energy was spent on that wish, and the mushroom can't live without that energy.
The mushrooms seems like a really nice creature, and wants to go to many places and see more of the world as well as making friends etc.
But... all you need to do to have (almost) ANY one wish granted, is to eat that poor thing. If you don't eat it, then maybe someone else will do it! Maybe, if you do it quickly, it won't feel any pain.
But then again... who wouldn't like to be friend with a talking mushroom? Mushrooms also have the right to live!
It's a hard choise, to me atleast. What would YOU do?
Oh, and please take this seriously. I almost considered posting it in EoEO. But then I figured more people would check it out if I posted it here instead.
