Do you like to make wishes? In (澳大利亚), where I'm from, we like to make wishes in different ways. Playing outside, you see a dandelion (蒲公英). Pick one up and (吹) its seeds (种子) away, then make a wish! Interestingly, an old tradition is to make wishes with water. Water is so important to life. People felt it was a (礼物) from the gods. So, they started throwing coins into wishing wells or fountains. They must say their wish out (响亮地). This way, they believe the spirits (精灵) of the water will hear the wish and make it come true. And of course, no one (错过) making a wish on their birthday.
I (很少) make wishes at Christmas. But, that year I made one. I left cookies and milk for Santa Claus and wrote a note to him: "Dear Santa, please tell my dad to stop smoking. It is bad for his (健康)". On Christmas Day, I saw the reply from "Santa". He wrote: "Dear Maddy, thank you for the cookies and milk. As for your dad's stopping smoking, that is something he has to do for (他自己)." Can you guess who wrote it?
I felt a bit sad that Santa couldn't help my dad. But it taught me something important: Only the person himself or herself can really make something come true. Making wishes into reality relies on your action.
