Once upon a time there was a sad, lonely girl. This girl was an English teacher and had moved to China to teach English in a kindergarten. Although she had a group of Australian friends, a great job and lived in a lovely small city in South-East China, she longed for a boyfriend to give her cuddles. Wednesdays were only half days at walk, so on one Wednesday afternoon she decided to walk around a beautiful reservoir which was only about half a mile away from home. While she was walking she wished that life wasn't so complicated. After doing that, she felt really confused because she was suddenly sitting on the branch of a tree. She couldn't understand how she was able to balance so easily and realized that the tree was enormous. Or was it? No, she was very small and her skin was covered in feathers! She realized that her wish had come true and she was a small sparrow. No more was her life complicated. She lived on the trees and fed off the insects, life was easy. Winter was mild in this part of China and the days came and went, as did the nights, where the moon waxed and waned in the sky.
Life was beautiful and she sand every day, but she knew what it had been like to be human and she missed her family and friends.
