This was a day I d looked forward to for weeks Miss Pace s fourth grade end of the year party I had happily volunteered my mother when Miss Pace looked for cookie volunteers Mom s chocolate chips were well known and I knew they d be a hit with my classmates But two o clock passed and there was no sign of her Most of the other mothers had already come and gone dropping off their sweet offerings The three o clock bell soon took me away from my thoughts and I took my book bag from my desk I decided I would slam the front door and refuse to return her hug But when I arrived she wasn t at home I was lying face down on my bed upstairs when I heard her come through the front door Robbie she called out a bit urgently Where are you I could then hear her rushing anxiously from room to room wondering where I could be I remained silent Coming through the door she said I m so sorry honey she said I just forgot I got busy and forgot Then my mother did something completely unexpected She began to laugh How could she laugh at a time like this I rolled over and faced her ready to let her see my rage 愤怒 But my mother wasn t laughing at all She was crying I m so sorry she said I let you down I let my little boy down I was moved by her tears I tried to remember her kind words from times past when I d skinned knees or cut myself times when she knew just the right thing to say It s okay Mom We didn t even need those cookies There was plenty of stuff to eat Don t cry It s all right Really We didn t say another word We just held each other When we came to the point where I would usually pull away I decided that this time I could hold on perhaps just a little bit longer 64 The author was pretty down because A he couldn t go to the party he had been looking forward to B his mother didn t

involves a person called a magician who claims to have supernatural powers Magic words To work most magic the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order These words are called incantations or spells Some spells form prayers to demons 魔鬼 spirits or other supernatural forces Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly Other magic words have no meaning though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic For example a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle 洒 water on the ground The magician s combined words and actions form a ceremony Magic objects include certain plants stones and other things with supposed supernatural powers Any such object may be called a fetish 物神 But this term often refers to an object for example a carving or a dried snake honored by a tribe for its magic powers Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects Many people carry magic objects called amulets 护身符 to protect themselves from harm Many amulets are stones or rings engraved 雕刻 with magic symbols The magician in some societies nearly everyone knows how to work some magic In other societies only experts practice magic Magicians may be called
