Tiny Tree
A neighborhood kid with branches and leaves sticking out of his pockets and a headband came into our front yard. He looked like a little soldier in camouflage. "I'm acting like a tree so butterflies will come," he said. As he waited on the grass, I brought out a huge blue preserved butterfly I'd purchased in Malaysia and hid it behind my back. I walked over, kneeled, pulled out the butterfly, and said, "A butterfly has come to see you." He gasped, and his eyes widened. His wishes won't always come true, but one did that day.
小树
一个邻居的小孩戴着头巾，从他的口袋伸出树枝和树叶，他走进了我们的前院。他看上去像个伪装的小士兵。"我得和树一样，这样蝴蝶就会来了，"他说。当他在草地上等待的时候，我拿出一只我在马来西亚买的超大的蓝色蝴蝶，藏在我的背后。我走过去，跪下来，拿出了蝴蝶，说："一只蝴蝶来看你了。"他喘着气，他瞪大了眼睛。他的愿望不总会实现，但是那天他的愿望真的实现了。
