wishing bone
A wishing bone, more commonly known as a wishbone, is a bone found in birds, specifically a furcula, which is a forked bone located in the chest area. It is traditionally used in various cultures as a good luck charm. Two people each tug on one end of the bone while making a wish, and the person who ends up with the larger piece once the bone breaks is believed to have their wish granted.
