    About this ebook

    The Wishing Needle is adapted from a Ugandan folktale. I first heard this story when I visited my grandmother. I listened to my grandmothers stories every evening. My grandmother called her chickens by name. She owned about twenty-eight chickens. She woke up very early every day to let them out in the yard and to peck the ground for food. One day, my grandmothers favorite chicken, Toke, disappeared. We were all saddened by Tokes disappearance. That evening, as we sat by the fire, looking perplexed, grandmother started to narrate the story of The Wishing Needle.
