Wish Upon a Shooting Star
I am not a very superstitious person. I know some people whose lives revolve around superstitions. I am not like that. But I do believe I can have a wish when I see a shooting star.
Shooting stars make a spectacular sight in the night sky. I saw one last week, when I was out star-gazing with a couple of friends. There is a common superstition that wishing upon a shooting star makes the wish come true.
A shooting star symbolises a brief moment in one’s life, just like the brief wonder of seeing a shooting star racing across the night sky. It can also be a symbol of reaching one’s ultimate destiny. In Chile, for instance, when you spot a shooting star, you must pick up a stone in the same moment, while making a wish. You have to think quickly. If you’re in the Philippines, you must tie a knot in your handkerchief instead. Too bad if you don’t carry one around.
The first time I saw a shooting star was a year ago. It was a fascinating sight, but I can’t remember what I wished for, so I can’t say whether it came true! It’s too soon to tell the fate of the wish I made upon the shooting star.
