Jessica awoke on July 27th,
and shook the dreams
from her head.
"Today is my favorite
day of the year.
Today is my birthday!"
she said.

Her family came in and
said with a grin,
"We know what we should
do.
We should have a great
big party,
a party just for you."
Page 7
So
Jessica made a list of all her friends,
inviting them to come.
They brought over
gifts,
and played lots of
games,
and everyone was having
fun.

"Hey
Jessica, make a wish,
take a deep breath,
and blow all the
candles out."

So
Jessica closed her eyes
and thought to herself,
"Which wish is right
for me?
There are so many
wishes
from which to choose,
I wish I could wish for
three.
But from all the
things,
that I've been told,
that's not the way it's
done.
So I'll go through my
favorite wishes,
and try to pick just
one."

"Maybe I'll wish to be
an astronaut,
who flies a rocket to
Mars.
I'll go in search of
unknown worlds,
and sail among the
stars."
Page 15
"Or maybe I'll wish to
have a pony,
that lives on a
Fort Wayne farm.
He could run in the
fields during the day,
then at night he could
sleep in the barn."
Page 16
"But what if the wish
that I did choose,
was to be a movie star?
My face could be seen,
on the big picture
screen,
and
Jessica Smith would be
known near and far."
Page 19
"Maybe I'll wish to be
an explorer,
who travels to lands
untold.
There I would find
caves and mines,
filled with silver and
gold."

"To be a veterinarian,
is the one that I
should pick.
I could heal little
kittens,
and great big dogs,
or anything else that
was sick."

Then suddenly,
Mariah, Gracie and Fiona
said, "How long are you
going to take?
Hurry up and make your
wish, Jessica,
it's time to eat some
cake."
Jessica took a deep breath,
then blew really hard,
and all of the candles
went out.
Then with big grins,
all of her friends
began to cheer and
shout.

And as the cake was
passed around,
Mariah, Gracie and Fiona leaned over to ask,
"What was the wish that
you finally picked?
I know it was a
difficult task."
Page 27
Everyone turned to look
at Jessica,
She felt her cheeks
turn red.
She slowly cleared her
throat,
and then stood up and
said...
"Although it took a
little time,
it was easier than I
had guessed.
I know the final wish I
wished
was better than all the
rest."
