　　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 acting³ 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 gasped⁴, 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。
