When I was a child, I used to believe that the street lamps switched on when I loook at them. One day, I wanted to show at my parents my power, so when we went out, I went under a street lamp, raised my head and made a magician pose. When I saw that my parents were laughing, I was so sad . After that, my parents decided to tell me the truth and I was so sad because my dream was to have such powers.
