"And say I'm going deaf, we need to get your shape out of shape I said."
"And what exactly does that mean?"
"It means that you don't look the part of a good chief yet." He replied.
Look the part? What did you not have? You were just like any other yoshi on the island, save for the former chieftain...
"Wait a second, a chief has to be fat?" you say. That idea did not sit well with you at all, you saw the former chieftain was pretty hefty. He had to be the size of four yoshis. You just could not see yourself bulking up to that weight, in fact you didn't really want to at all. You weren't the most toned yoshi on the island, but you weren't going to throw away what slim figure you have.
"Oh quit your whining, kids these days." The shaman rolled his eyes. "It's imperative that a chief reaches a certain size before he can rule."
"But...I mean, can't we change that?" You stammer.
"Ah, but you need to realize, that you are not only a leader, but a symbol." He started. "The wealthier and more prosperous a yoshi tribe is, the bigger they can make their chief."
"That sounds ridiculous, this isn't the ancient days where if tribes didn't work they starved."
"None sense you foolish boy, do realize that there are only a few tribes who have achieved that status?"
"...no." You reply. "But this is still stupid, why should I have to do that for the sake of bragging rights."
"It's not just bragging rights boy, but the most prosperous nation gains favor of the elder stars. You get five wishes to use on your whim."
That caught your attention. Now a wish was something worth ones life. You just had to get really fat and you got five wishes. Hell after you got your wishes you could get rid of this stupid system once and for all. You smile to yourself and look at the shaman.
"Alright now that sounds more like it, when do I begin?"
"Ah I knew you were a smart one, come with me and I'll set you on track." He replied as he led you down a path. "I have planned a new training regiment for you, since our last chief was unable to win, hard as he tried. I have perfected a method that will lower the difficult yoshi metabolism, and after a few days of that you will be well on your way."
