The Shooting Star on Halloween

It was Halloween night, and I was freezing. I was only wearing what felt like silk and I couldn't even make a 2 out of my hands! Then, all of a sudden, I saw an orange and red shooting star, blazing like fire. "There's a shooting star!" I shouted, pointing. But when my parents turned around, it was too late. "Did you make a wish?" they asked. I nodded. I secretly wished I would go home without trick-or-treating anymore houses, since I didn't believe such things at that time. So I simply forgot about my wish almost immediately after I made it. But suddenly, it came true! I told a few of my lucky classmates the other day about what I saw. And some of them also saw it. One of them, a boy named Diego, said that he wished he'd get a ton of candy. and he did get a ton. He used a bag taller than himself, and it still overflowed with candy. Another was one of my neighbors. He said he wished he'd fall on his hand. He didn't believe in shooting stars and wishes, either. But he did fall on his hand and had to go home. Wow!

That is why you really get to be careful with what you wish.
