finish her sentence, I slipped and fell. Great grandma shouted with horror, “Someone!
Save her!” No one saved me; I landed on a heap of hay! Great grandma went down slowly and said to me, “I
hope you’re not hurt! It’s good that you landed here!”
I looked around full of shock! I said excitedly to her, “There’s the Great Wall of China in front of you
great grandma!!! Your dream has come true the second time! You’re so lucky! Can we stay here longer? I‘ve
never been here before.” Great grandma replied with her brightest smile, “Of course! That’s what I want! Tom,
you gave me the happiest birthday! Thank you!” My eyes sparkled with pride and happiness. No one ever said
anything like that to me! I wish I had a dream like great grandma as well! I said to great grandma “I’ve never
seen you smile like that before, maybe that’s how it is when you’ve got your dream come
true! I wish I would
smile
like you…one day!”
