What was the wish in birthday girl by murakami?

Answer 1

I think she wished to be a good person - a good human being.

This is my take.....but of course with Murakami....you can never be sure : )

I believe two other possibilities exist. 1) She wished for the managers sickness to be cured allowing him to return to work. Gathered from the paragraph follow in the making of the wish "The manager turned out to just have an ordinary stomachache" and the preceding reference to this "He went to the hospital. He thinks he might have appendicitis."

2) She wished to know how life works.
