If you had one wish, what would you wish for?
Have you ever had a moment when you didn't have time to think carefully?

We read _Sylvester and the Magic Pebble_ by William Steig.

The rain stopped because the pebble is magic, but the flowers need lots and lots of rain.

It's nice because it's about giving things to other people. Sylvester thought about his mom, and his friends, and his neighbors and everyone. It's called sharing.

If he picked it up and said "I wish this pebble would disappear," it would be gone!

Was Sylvester hungry in the winter? Rocks don't eat.
He looked like a rock and he's just like a rock.

When Sylvester was a rock, they couldn't think of anything else but Sylvester.

Did they put the pebble away because they were afraid they would make a bad choice?
They locked it up because all that they wanted was Sylvester.
He was a rock for a lot of days. They just wanted to spend some time with him instead of wishing for a thousand dollars or a lot of toys.


In this story,I was feeling happy and sad at the same time.
I felt amazed.
