was eating breakfast with one hand，petting my cat，Cow，with the other，and reading the back of the cereal box，when—“OUCH！” I screamed. “Why’d you pinch me？”
“You’re not wearing green，”said my little brother，Tex. “Everyone knows you get pinched
if you don’t wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day！”
I was mostly mad about getting pinched，but also a tiny bit glad about being reminded that it was Saint Patrick’s Day.
I panicked. “What am I going to do？ I don’t have time to change. I’ll get pinched all day long！”
“Well，” Tex said，taking the old green baseball cap off his head，“you could borrow my lucky hat.”
“But it’s your favorite！” I said.
“I know，” said Tex. “Just promise to give it back after school.”
“No problem，thanks.” I grabbed my backpack.
I was racing to catch the school bus，and I saw a dollar on the sidewalk. I looked around to see if anyone was looking for it，but people just kept stepping on the poor thing，so I decided to rescue it. I’d found pennies and nickels before，but never a dollar！ Then，I didn’t miss the bus， because the bus was even later than me—which never happens！
My luck didn’t stop there. Carlos and Jackson were sitting behind me，quizzing each other on spelling words. I turned around and said，“You guys know that test isn’t till tomorrow，right？”
“It got switched to this morning，” said Jackson.
“That’s right. I totally forgot！”I said.“I’m so lucky that I sat in front of you. If I hadn’t，I wouldn’t have found out till it was too late！” I got out my spelling words，studied all the way to school. And ended up acing the test！
The minute I got home，I gave Tex a gigantic hug.
“This is the luckiest hat in the world，” I said. “I’m never taking it off！”
“But you promised to give it back！” said Tex.
“I know，but...please let me borrow your lucky hat for one more day！” I begged.
“Tomorrow I’m auditioning for the school play，and I need every bit of help I can get.”
“OK，”said Tex.“One more day. But you’d better be really nice to me.”
“I will，”I agreed. “In fact，here you can have my lucky dollar！” Tex let out a whoop，then started dancing around and waving his gift in the air.
The next day turned out to be super lucky. My audition couldn’t have gone better.
“Wow，Arizona！” said my friend Mareya. “I can’t believe how amazingly you just did！ You are so getting a major part in this play！”
“Thanks！You did really great，too！” I said.“But honestly，the only reason I did OK is because I had my lucky hat.”
“What lucky hat？”asked Mareya.
“This one，” I said，reaching into my backpack，where I thought I’d put Tex’s hat since I couldn’t wear it for the audition. But it wasn’t there！ “Oh no！” I cried.“It’s gone！ What am I going to tell Tex？”
Mareya helped me look for it. Luckily，we found Tex’s hat in my locker. Also luckily，I discovered that I could be lucky with or without the cap in my possession.
“So it wasn’t the hat，”said Mareya. “Maybe it was all those hours you spent practicing over the past month.”
“Hmm，” I said. “It’s possible.”
So，dear Luck Seeker，I guess you could say that luck is a combination of being prepared， believing in yourself...and maybe just a tiny bit of magic！ In other words，luck may come your way，but you have to be ready for it when it does！
我当时正一手吃早餐，一手着我的猫“牛牛”，同时在看燕麦片盒子背面的信息。“哎哟，”就在这时我尖叫起来，“你干吗捏我？”
“因为你没穿绿色衣服。”我的小弟弟特克斯说，“人人都知道如果在圣帕特里克节不穿绿色衣服就会被捏！”
我对自己被捏感到非常生气，但有一点儿值得高兴的是，这提醒了我今天是圣帕特里克节。
我惊慌失措：“我该怎么办？我没时间换衣服了，一整天我都会被人捏的！”
“好吧。”特克斯从他头上摘下那顶绿色的旧棒球帽说，“你可以借我的幸运帽。”
“但它是你的最爱。”我说。
“我知道。”特克斯说，“只要你答应放学后还给我就行了。”
“没问题，谢谢。”我抓起书包说。
当我正拼命追赶校车时，我看到人行道上有张一美元的钞票。我环顾四周，看看有没有人在找它，可人们都相继踩过这个可怜的家伙，所以我决定营救它。以前我捡过便士和5分的硬币，可从没发现过一美元的钞票。随后，我没有错过校车，因为校车甚至比我还晚到——这是从未发生过的！
我的运气并未就此打住。卡洛斯和杰克逊刚好坐在我后面，正相互考单词拼写。我转过头去，说：“你们知道明天才测验，对吗？”
“已经改到今天上午了。”杰克逊说。
“对哦。我忘得一干二净！”我说，“坐在你们前面我是多么幸运啊！不然，到我发现已经太晚了。”我拿出要考的单词表来，去学校的一路上，我都在复习。最终，我考了个好成绩。
一回到家，我就给特克斯一个大大的拥抱。
“这是世界上最幸运的帽子。”我说，“我永远都不取下来了！”
“但你答应过要还给我的。”特克斯说。
“我知道，但是求你把你的幸运帽借我再用一天。”我请求道。
“明天我要参加学校话剧表演的选角面试，我需要得到所有帮助。”
“好吧。”特克斯说，“再借一天。但你最好对我好点。”
“我会的。”我同意道，“这样，我把这张幸运美元给你！”特克斯欢呼了一声，接着，他一边在空中挥舞着他的礼物，一边开始在四周跳起舞来。
第二天，我的运气棒极了。我的试演再好不过了。
“哇，亚利桑那！”我的朋友玛瑞娅说，“你刚刚的表演太令人吃惊了，我简直不敢相信。你肯定可以在这部话剧里演主角！”
“谢谢！你也表演得很棒！”我回答说，“不过，老实说，我表演得好全因为我有一顶幸运帽。”
“什么幸运帽？”玛瑞娅问。
“就是这个。”我边说边把手伸进书包里，我以为我把特克斯的帽子放在书包里了，因为我不能戴着它表演，但帽子不在里面！“哦，不！”我喊道，“它不见了！我怎么跟特克斯交代啊？”
玛瑞娅也帮我找，幸运的是，我们发现原来帽子放在我的储物柜里了。同样幸运的是，我发现无论戴不戴那顶落入我手中的帽子，我都会有好运。
“所以，并不是因为那顶帽子。”玛瑞娅说，“也许那是你过去一个月里刻苦练习的结果。”
我说：“嗯，可能是！”
所以，亲爱的运气寻觅者，我想你可以说幸运是这样一个组合——作好准备，相信自己……也许再加上一点点的魔法！换言之，幸运也许正向你走来，但在它降临时，你得作好准备！
