 A GIFT LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Shruti Chakraborty, class 6, La Martiniere for Girls

It was my Birth Day and we had been celebrating it in a Game Arcade called ‘Time Zone’. After the party when I reached home, I fumbled over my gifts to open them. As I opened each gift I got overjoyed. Then my hands touched the last gift which had been hidden by the other ones. It was wrapped by a beautiful blue color wrapping paper. As I unwrapped the gift I revealed a pink hard bound, thick leathered diary with hollow circle in between and inside it was a craved shape of an Angel. I tried to open the diary but it seemed to be locked, when I spotted a bracelet with which was attached an Angel shaped bead. I tried to insert the bead between the shape on the diary and to my utmost surprise the diary fell open!

On the first page it was written “MAY ALL YOU’RE WISHES COME TRUE”. I closed the diary to find the friend’s name who had presented me this diary, but I could not find a single card or writing attached to wrapping paper. The next day at school when I asked my friends that who had given the diary it seemed as if they had never even seen a diary like that. That day when I returned home, I took out my diary and on the second page after the printed message, I wrote in bold letters “ MY WISH LIST” and started with a few stupid wishes like I learn climbing trees, and  that it rains heavily that night.

After writing them I went to complete my homework and then it was soon 8:00 which meant that I had to watch my TV programs. That night I was woken up by the sound of rain, thunder and lightening. I was amazed to see that my wish had actually come true! I was so happy that I felt like dancing. The week soon passed on and then it was announced that all the Library Squads were going for a picnic. I was overjoyed and quickly got ready on the day of the picnic. The place we went to was full of greenery and trees. A group of girls started playing tennis and some played Mafia. While wondering whom to join I spotted my friends climbing trees.

I joined them and asked my friends to teach me climb trees. I was quickly taught without any complain and within a second I was up on the tree clicking pictures with my friends, but I was happy not because I had climbed a tree but because my wish had come true. After that I soon understood that whatever good written in my wish list for others or me would come true, but the cruel thoughts written for others would only harm me.

wrote many wishes for others and me but for their good and now over the years I have written over thousands of wishes and have received many gifts on my birthdays but My Diary is a gift like never before.
