When I was a child, I used to believe if I made a wish while putting a Brazilian bracelet, this wish would come true when the bracelet broke.
When we were in summer holidays, my parents bought one for me and my sisters. Secretely I wanted a dog so it was my wish. A year later, the bracelet broke and a week after, I had got my first dog !
But an other bracelet broke, and my wish to have a swimming pool in my garden was not realised. I was so sad.
Then I understood that for my dog it was just by chance.
Today, even if I know it's not possible, I hope my wishes will come true.
