Dear Harry Potter,

     Hi! I'm Kevin from India. I really feel lucky to write you a letter.

     Though I live far away from your, I think we are a little alike. You are a great wizard(奇才). You have done lots of magical things to be amazed at. Although I don't do magic, I do believe in it. Well, I' m also a wizard at school, And I can often get As, but I am' not a bookworm.. I like to play jokes in class, thich sometimes make my teachers angry. I also have many friends. They often get me into and out of trouble. No matter what has happened, we still get close together.

      Oh, I almost forget to tell you that our school is almost like yours, Hogwarts. It's a special one for excellent students. We have hodern classes and technology lessons. But when much is given, much is expected. So I often stay up late just to finish my homework. It really makes me tired and bored.

     Luckily, I can read your stories in my free time. I feel like I know you. You have a mind of your own. You are young, but you know how to take responsibility(责任) for your decisions. Also you, think with a clear head even in danger. What a great boy you are! How I wish I could meet you soon!

      May you have a nice time.

Yours, Kevin

I was walking around in a store. I saw an assistant pass this little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
“It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.” he said.
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her, and he shouldn’t worry. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case (万一)you do have enough money?”
“Ok,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left . The little boy said, “Thank you God for giving me enough money!”
I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.
