The Wishing Well is the center of most Festivities in the [[town]].

Apologizing can only be done if the player has an item that needs to be delivered to a villager who has moved out before the [[favor]] was completed, as that is the only way to get rid of the item in this case.

The Wishing Well appears only in {{PG}}, but the functions of the Well have been contributed to the [[Town Hall]] in {{WW}} and {{CF}} (the Civic Center) and the [[Town Tree]] and Town Hall in {{NL}}. The player cannot, however, apologize for failing tasks. However, a fountain, much as the one in the city, can be made by depositing 400,000 bells into the town fund after an additional [[bridge]] has been built for donating 200,000 bells. The player can also throw an [[axe]] into the fountain for a chance to receive a silver or golden axe from [[Serena]]. In {{NL}}, the fountain is a [[public works project]], and axes cannot be thrown into it.
