I was on the bus on my way home. In front of me, a little girl, about 5 years old, was sitting with her father, and they were talking. Her father asked her, “What do you want to be in the future?”　When I was her age, I wanted to be a flower shop clerk. But incredibly, she said, “I want to be Yasuko!” Yasuko is a very famous comedian in Japan. I couldn’t help laughing. I thought, “I hope she makes everyone laugh someday.”　After a while, I got off the bus. As I looked back at the window, the little girl waved her hand at me. I smiled and waved back.　　　(112 words)
