A Star for My Birthday

A Star for My Birthday lt was my birthday. My whole family went horseback riding. It's easy for us because we live on a farm in the countryside That night, we sat around a campfire and looked at the stars. My mother brought out a cake with candles on it. “ Make a wish. ” she said. I wished for my own horse. Just as I blew out the candle, a bright light filled the sky. It was a shooting star. It soared across the sky. My mom said a shooting star is a very small rock. It moves so fast that it makes the air around it catch fire. I'm sure she's right, but I think it's a sign that my wish will come true. If it does, I think I'll name my horse Star.
