By my sixteenth birthday, I 6 all hope of getting my snow, even though I still wished for it.
During my party, I stayed with my friends and family and was truly 7 . I 8 the best time ever! Then I saw the white snow 9 down all around. I was so excited that I ran around screaming and laughing. My friends all laughed 10 me, but I didn’t care.
When I 11 home, my grandpa said he had a gift for me. I was 12 because he had given me a gift. It was a small white box, which looked old. I opened it. There was a crystal snowflake(冰晶雪花)with a card that 13 , “Happy Birthday.”
How could this be? My grandpa said it was my grandmother’s final 14 on my “sweet sixteenth”. I cried.
