I know this Thing well. And such was not at all a bad wish to ask of it. The wish showed far more genuine regard for the weight of the Thing's gift than many wishes it receives.
But I wonder now if the boy wonders what more he might have wished for, what else he could have -- perhaps he even uses the words "should have," but these are misleading -- wished for.
I can't help but hear questing. Perhaps the boy, perhaps the rabbit and the dragon, or perhaps the squirrel behind, is the one who quests. I know this Thing well. So well, I would presume, that with disclaimer that I can only do my best in clear conscience to do so, I can tell you what it would have said if another question had been asked.

Had been asked. Will be asked. Is being asked.
It answers everyone who asks, you know.
