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.
小樹
一個鄰居的小孩戴着頭巾，從他的口袋伸出樹枝和樹葉，他走進了我們的前院。他看上去像個僞裝的小士兵。"我得和樹一樣，這樣蝴蝶就會來了，"他說。當他在草地上等待的時候，我拿出一隻我在馬來西亞買的超大的藍色蝴蝶，藏在我的背後。我走過去，跪下來，拿出了蝴蝶，說："一隻蝴蝶來看你了。"他喘着氣，他瞪大了眼睛。他的願望不總會實現，但是那天他的願望真的實現了。
