From the balcony of our tenth-floor flat, I searched the sky hoping to see a shooting star(流星).
“Stars are afraid of city lights, but a little song is always good for something,” Grandma put her arms around me and sang softly. The common stars are for little wishes — everyday wishes — like getting more cream on your cupcake. But the shooting star is different.
“Shooting stars are lucky,” Grandma said. So I kept a special wish ready — ready for a shooting star to catch my wish in its tail and dance across the sky.
I rested deeper in her arms, hoping for a few more minutes of her warmth as much as I hoped to see a shooting star.
“Tomorrow can't come if you don't dream tonight.” She kissed my hair. I didn't remember my dreams when I woke up, but sure enough it was a new day. Grandma was singing softly in the kitchen. A little song was always good for something. I smelt buttermilk biscuits! Buttermilk biscuits were Saturday biscuits, but today was Wednesday. She gave me two. Then it was time for school.
On the third floor, the lift(电梯)suddenly stopped and went dark. My heart beat so hard that I felt the beating in my ears. Grandma rang the bell.
“Power is down,” called Mr Simon from above us.
Grandma took my hands, and we sang together in the dark lift.
Before long, Mr Simon helped us out. Grandma took my hand, and we walked down the stairs to the street as if nothing happened.
The power was still off when I came home. After dinner and homework, we took biscuits and went to the balcony and watched day turn to evening. Lights came from far away, but it was dark here.
Flash! A light shot across the sky — too sudden to seem real. Like magic, I felt my wish holding tight to the tail of that shooting star, dancing across the sky to our songs.

从我们十楼公寓的阳台望去，我仰望天空，希望能看到一颗流星。
“星星害怕城市的灯光，但一首小曲总是能起到些作用的。”奶奶搂着我，轻声唱着。普通的星星是用来实现小愿望的——日常的愿望——比如在你的纸杯蛋糕上多加点奶油。但流星就不一样了。
“流星会带来好运。”奶奶说。所以我准备了一个特别的愿望——准备好让流星的尾巴接住我的愿望，然后在天空中飞舞。
我在她的怀里靠得更紧了，我渴望能多感受几分钟她的温暖，就像我渴望看到流星一样。
“**如果今晚你不做梦，明天就不会到来**。”她吻了吻我的头发。我醒来时不记得自己做了什么梦，但毫无疑问，新的一天已经来临。奶奶在厨房里轻声唱着歌。一首小曲总是能起到些作用的。我闻到了酪乳饼干的味道！酪乳饼干是周六才会做的，但今天是周三。她给了我两块。然后就到上学的时间了。
到了三楼，电梯突然停了下来，一片漆黑。我的心跳得如此之快，以至于我能在耳朵里听到心跳声。奶奶按响了铃。
“停电了。”西蒙先生从我们上方喊道。
奶奶握住我的手，我们在黑暗的电梯里一起唱歌。
没过多久，西蒙先生就把我们救了出去。奶奶拉着我的手，我们走下楼梯来到街上，就好像什么都没发生过一样。
我回家的时候，电还没恢复。晚饭后做完作业，我们拿着饼干来到阳台，看着白天变成夜晚。远处有灯光，但这里一片漆黑。
**闪！一道光划过天空——太突然了，不像是真的**。就像魔法一样，我感觉我的愿望紧紧地抓住了那颗流星的尾巴，随着我们的歌声在天空中飞舞。
