What Would You Want From the Wizard?

We know what each of the characters from our story would like from the Great and Terrible Wizard of Oz, but what would you like?  Are you like Dorothy?  Do you need help getting somewhere?  Maybe you are like the Scarecrow and would like some more brains.  Maybe you need more love like the Tin Woodman.  Perhaps you need courage like the Lion.  Or, maybe there is something totally different that you would wish for.

If you had a chance to meet the Wizard of Oz, what would you ask him for and why?
