* In the fantasy novel Black And Blue Magic set in the time of the Great Depression the young boy protagonist is gifted a bottle from a mysterious man who for a short while rents a room from his mother (and is implied to both be of fantastic age and his large bag to contain many magical items from ancient stories including Aladdin's Lamp), by rubbing a drop of the pearlescent liquid inside on each of his shoulderblades and reciting a magical chant he grows large wings that remain until he recites the counter-spell (which he's genre savvy enough to commit to heart).

* This is a central plot point in the children's book ''The Little Rabbit Who Wanted Red Wings''. The rabbit wishes for the traits other animals have, and his wish is granted when he grows red wings to match a cardinal's. However, the rabbit's mother and friends fail to recognize him with wings, and send him away. The next day the rabbit wishes the wings away and is once again accepted by society. The {{Aesop}} in this story is supposed to be that you should be happy with who you are and not be envious of others, but it also gets into FamilyUnfriendlyAesop territory: don't dare to be too different or everyone you love will reject you.
