I was eating breakfast with one hand, petting my cat, Cow, with the other, and reading the back of the cereal box, when --"OUCH!" I screamed. "Why'd you pinch me?"
查看中文翻译
"I know," said Tex. "Just promise to give it back after school."
查看中文翻译
"It's true," said my little sister, Indi.
查看中文翻译
I was mostly mad about getting pinched, but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick's Day.
查看中文翻译
"Well," Tex said, taking the old green baseball cap off his head, "you could borrow my lucky hat."
查看中文翻译
My brother is so lucky. Good stuff is always happening to him. Do you believe in luck? And if so, how can I get more of it?
查看中文翻译
Dear Arizona,
查看中文翻译
I panicked. "What am I going to do? I don't have time to change. I'll get pinched all day long!"
查看中文翻译
"You're not wearing green," said my little brother, Tex. "Everyone knows you get pinched if you don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day!"

Dear Looking,

"But it's your favorite!" I said.
查看中文翻译
"No problem," I said, glancing in the mirror on my way out the door. "I look like a goofball in this thing!"

Now, before I go on, you should know that I'm not an overly superstitious person. I don't believe that thirteen is an unlucky number or that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. I definitely don't freak out if a black cat crosses my path. And when it comes to things like lucky four-leaf clovers and lucky pennies, I just never believed in them.
查看中文翻译
Anyway, I was racing to catch the school bus, and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk! I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it, but people just kept stepping on the poor thing, so I decided to rescue it. I'd found pennies and nickels before, but never a dollar! Then, I didn't miss the bus, because the bus was even later than me¡ªwhich never happens!

"Hum." I grabbed my backpack. "Thanks, I think."
查看中文翻译
"A lucky goofball!" said Tex.
查看中文翻译
My luck didn't stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me, quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said, "You guys know that test isn't till tomorrow, right?"
查看中文翻译
"It got switched to this morning," said Jackson. "Remember? There's some assembly tomorrow."
查看中文翻译
"Wow, Arizona!" said my friend Mareya. "I can't believe how amazingly you just did! You are so getting a major part in this play!"
查看中文翻译
"But you promised to give it back!" said Tex.
查看中文翻译
"This is the luckiest hat in the world," I said. "I'm never taking it off!"
查看中文翻译
"I know, but…" I pretended to try to pull the hat off my head. "I think it's stuck."
查看中文翻译
"It is not!" said Tex.
查看中文翻译
The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn't have gone better.
查看中文翻译
"Please¡ªoh¡ªplease let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day!" I begged. "Tomorrow I'm auditioning for the school play, and I need every bit of help I can get."
查看中文翻译
"OK," said Tex. "One more day. But you'd better be really nice to me."
查看中文翻译
"That's right¡ªI totally forgot!" I said. "I'm so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have found out till it was too late!" I got out my spelling words, studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test!
查看中文翻译
"I will," I agreed. "In fact¡ªhere you can have my lucky dollar!"
查看中文翻译
Tex let out a whoop, then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.
查看中文翻译
The minute I got home, I gave Tex a gigantic hug.
查看中文翻译
"This one," I said, reaching into my backpack, where I thought I'd put Tex's hat since I couldn't wear it for the audition. But it wasn't there! "Oh, No!" I cried. "It's gone! What am I going to tell Tex?"
查看中文翻译
"So it wasn't the hat," said Mareya. "This is just a wild guess, but maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month."
查看中文翻译
"What lucky hat?" asked Mareya.
查看中文翻译
"Thanks! You did really great, too!" I said. "But honestly, the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat."
查看中文翻译
Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily, we found Tex's hat in my locker. Also luckily, I discovered that I could be lucky with or without a goofy-looking cap in my possession.
查看中文翻译
"Hmm," I said. "It's possible."
查看中文翻译
So, dear Looking, I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared, believing in yourself… and maybe just a tiny bit of magic! In other words, luck may come your way, but you have to be ready for it when it does!

Ciao for now
