Once Upon a Time, There Was ....


A Four-Leaved Clover

Oneday, Mr.Johnson made us listen to a song. The major character of this song was that it was very sleepy. While listening to Mr.Johnson's music, I was so tired that I started sleeping. I had a dream. In my dream, I saw a very peaceful hill. there were birds flying together. and the sun was high. Flowers were every where, with butterflies flting around them. there was a big, tall, and green tree. I was lying under it, enjoying the beautiful scene. The most amazing thing I saw was that on the hill, there were many four leaved clovers covering the hill with their leaves. I was in a complete accord...

.. and then I awoke.

After Mr. johnson's class, there was another class waiting for me. During the lunch recess, I had to go to the library to do some research. I had no time to stop. Everyday it's work, work and work. There are so many policies regulating my freedom. I can't do most of the things I want to do... THERE'S MORE. It rained then and my socks got all wet, and I didn't even have an umbrella, and it's a long way bsck to the dorm, and I don't have any clothes left to change~!~!............... Ahhhhhhh~! I was getting soaked more and more on the way back to the dormitory. 'Why did I come here? I hate this place~!', I thought. It seemed to me that there was no way for me to find a four-leaved clover in my life.

My terrible days continued today. I was on the way back to the dormitory, from the library. Then, I remembered that I was missing something. I forgot to bring my mobile phone after P.E class! I ran back to gym(it was still raining, and as usuall, I didn't have an umbrella). Fortunately, I found my mobile phone. 'My legs hurt, and I am cold, wet and I hate this and I'm sick of that, and I want to do this but they tell me to do that, and... and... and...' I kept grumbing to myself about everything as I was going to the dorm. There were many green plants on th way, and it made me think of my dream the day before, and made me fell even more miserable.

... And there he was.

I didn't know if he's a freshman or a sophomere or a senior. He was wearing a very thick eyeglasses(even thicker than mine). He was very short for a high school student, amazingly skinny and had a weary face. Maybe he was too busy to study that he didn't even have enough time to grow up. It looked as if he'll collapse if I just touch his body. I felt sorry for him. It looked like he was looking for something. Did he drop a coin or key?

I found out a camera on his hand. It was raining. and his clothes were getting wet badly, but he didn't' mind. He didn't even know the presence of me. Suddenly, his weary face was lit with joy. he took some picture of something on the ground, and ran to the dorm with a speed of flying. What could make him so happy? I sat where he was taking the pictures. There were clovers on the side of the road. Among the clovers, there was a four-leaved clover. I think he took the picture of the four-leaved clover. So, this special clover was the one that made him suddenly become happy. I never thought about a four-leaved clover in KMLA. Then I satrted to envy that short, skinny, weary guy. Maybe I can find a four-leaved clover too. And smile brightly just like him
