It was a wet, rainy day during the school holidays. Lily looked out of the window and thought about her parents. They were on a long holiday. They said Lily was too young to go. So Lily was staying with her Aunt Bella. Today Lily was unhappy. She was all alone —Aunt Bella was out shopping.
Lily decided to go to the top floor. Maybe there was something interesting. She arrived at the top. There was an old door. Lily opened the door and walked in. The walls were changing colours. A sofa wasn’t on the floor! It was in the air. Suddenly she heard a sound “Whoooosh” and after a minute she saw a boy appear(出现).
“Hi,” he said. “I am the genie(精灵). Who are you?”
“I’m Lily,” she answered, “but you don’t look like a genie.”
The boy looked at her. He said, “Hocuspocusinversus!” And then suddenly Lily was in the air. “OK! I believe you,” she shouted. “Get me down!”
“So, how many wishes do you want?” the boy said.

As the taxi leaves, my father stands at the living room window looking out, watching me move off into the darkness, at 4:30 a. m. His grey hair is untidy from sleeping.
Moments ago, he got up to carry my bag for me and went into the cold open air.
He thanked me for a daughter's cooking and for having traveled so far to spend the holiday with him. I told him that I worried about he would feel lonely again in the empty house.
"I have my plans," he said, in the moments before I walked out the door.
When I arrived 10 days ago, I felt it was quiet and lifeless in the house. Then my brothers and I came and filled the rooms. But, now, they're gone, I am the last to leave.
As the taxi began to move, I watched the lights go off, but my father didn't leave. Even though he couldn't see me in the dark, he stood by the window watching, beside the tree. It was a fresh tree. He buys one every year for the new year.
