I read the letter at least 45 times before I was finally satisfied. There was a contest that we had every year at the orphanage. We sent a really nice letter to a rich couple, and whichever one was the best got to be adopted by them. I know it sounds a little cheesy but you also get to travel around any country you choose. I really wanted to win because this was the last year the orphanage wass gonna be open and the other orphanage doesn't do the contest. I already even knew which country I would choose. I would choose France. Thats where I lived before my parents died. I put the shiny blue stamp on the envelope and gave it to mrs.orville. She would send it out to the couple and then in three days they would announce the winner. Three days semmed like forever. I kept having the same nightmare over and over again, I lost the contest and didn't get adopted. Mostly little kids get adopted and next year there would be twice as many kids at the new orphanage. I was so excited when I woke up on the third day. I put on my best dress and ate a good breakfast. When it was time to announce the winner I eased up to the front of the crowd. Then when the words slowly came out I started jumpin up and down. I was so proud of myself. Me and my new mom and dad moved to France and bought an orphnage there. After school I go and help out there because if I was ever an orphan I know I would want a friend.
