"The One Thing I Want"
by Whitney Stauner

There once was a little girl who lived in a orphanage. Today was her birthday; there was only one thing she wanted. That was a home.

After the party she had received, a doll, ten dollars, a necklace, a real puppy, but no family. Just as she was heading towards her room, a really pretty lady came up to her and asked if she was Elizabeth, when she said yes, the ladies eyes filled up with tears and said," Liz I am your Aunt Carin. Before your mommy died she called me mad asked me to take care of you, and after 2 years I found you".

Then it was the little girl's turn to cry, she said," Today is my birthday and all I wanted was a family and I got one and we are even related. She threw her arms around her aunt and they both cried. She went home with her aunt and they lived happily ever after.
