The Wishing Stream

I was in a small town to visit my great grandmother when I saw a little boy in ragged clothes and some pebbles in his hands.Some little people used to call it wishing pebbles, and that little boy had some of those.He went to a little stream and bent down as if he was praying.The first thing he did was close his eyes and then he threw the little pebbles into the stream.I wanted to walk over there and ask him why he was throwing the pebbles in there, but I didn't want to disturb his time.After 5 minutes, he went back to his mother.My mother was at my great grandmothers' house already and she sent me to get some cabbages and carrots and cow meat.I was still wondering why he threw the pebbles in there.When the little boy was gone, I went to look at the stream where he had thrown the pebbles.There was nothing there!!!!!!!!!!All there was a peice of cardboard,some coins,and some plastic.NO PEBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It can't be possible!It was untill I remembered that what I didn't tell you in this story that I did see him pick those pebbles back from the stream.I thought he was just leaving them there.But I finally heard him say to his mom,"Look mommy!I found these pebbles 10 minutes ago and I used them to make a wish over the wishing stream!I wished that we could have more money and daddy would get a new job and that I would get some friends to play with!"It sounded if he was very happy.After he told his mom,she also said something,"That's very nice to do,Jered.That would make you,mommy and daddy very happy.You are a very good little boy.I'm very proud of you." After I came home,I told my mom and great grandmother the story of how the pebbles made the little boy so happy and that he wished his family some money and all that I heard.They were amazed.And that day I never will forget that special day of me and the wishing stream.
