小毛人系列之《好运气》Just a Little Luck 附原文

I found a penny. I thought it would give me luck. "Was it heads or tails?" asked Tiger. "If it was heads, it's lucky. If it was tails, it's unlucky." I couldn't remember. "I guess we will have to wait and see," I said. Just then we heard the ice cream truck. I wanted a double critterberry cone. I couldn't wait to eat it. But I dropped the ice cream. "Get rid of that penny,"said Timothy. "It's unlucky!" I threw the penny away as far as I could. I felt better, and soon it was time to go home. But I got a flat tire. "I'm still unlucky," I said. I had to push my bike home. Then I tripped and fell down. I was having a very unlucy day. Mom hugged me and said, "Sometimes you need just a little luck." That made me feel better. That night I took a long bath. Then I finished my project due for school the next day. That made me feel better, too. But in the morning, I was unlucky again. I droped my project on the school steps. Somebody even laughed, so I made sure I didn&`&t cry. My teacher helped me fix it. That made me feel better. On Tuesday, I left my lunch on the school bus. Gator lent me some lunch money. The cafeteria was serving creamed chicken with peas on toast. I hate that, but I was hungry. I ate it anyway. Wednesday was worse. A delivery truck ran over my basketball in the driveway. I know Mom told me to put it away, but I forgot. Thursday I had a little bitty fever and had to stay home. Which is fine usually, but Thursday was a special class party. How unlucky! My fever was gone on Friday, but the TV stattion canceled my favorite show, Bonzo Bob and His Wacky Critters. I needed just a little luck. I wasn't even excited about the weekend. Grandpa came by on Saturday. We were going to the State Fair, just Grandpa and unlucky me. I always wanted to ride the Ripping Rocket. Grandpa said, "Let's do it!" The ride critter strapped us in. I just knew I would be unlucky... ..and something would go wrong. But it didn't. It was great! Grandpa said, "What do you think of your luck now?" I guess sometimes you need just a little luck.
