One day，Miriam got a letter along with a watermelon seed from Uncle Esai.It said：
Miriam，
This is a magic seed for you.Plant it，and it will grant \_1\_ three wishes.Remember to be patient：the world has its own rhythm.
Uncle Esai
Miriam thought，“A magic seed? Maybe it's Uncle Esai's \_2\_，but why not have a try?”She planted the seed in the yard，and made her \_3\_ wish，“I want the watermelon to grow as big as a mountain!”
The next morning，Miriam was very \_4\_ to see a huge watermelon in the yard. She couldn't believe it.“I must \_5\_ it at once!”She hurried to cut the watermelon，but it was too hard. She became angry.“This is a silly watermelon! I don't want it!”
Immediately the fruit became a seed again. Miriam \_6\_ her second wish had been granted.“Humph! This is not fun!”she cried.
A few days later，Miriam found Uncle Esai's \_7\_ and read it again.She stopped when she saw the words “be patient”.How could she forget it? She rushed out of the door and \_8\_ ran to the yard to find the seed. This time，she promised she would make the best use of the third wish.
She thought for a while.“I hope my \_9\_ could spend more time together.” But her parents needed to work. How could the seed help? Although it seemed impossible，she still decided to \_10\_ the seed with patience.
Miriam got some information about \_11\_ to plant a watermelon，and then followed the steps carefully. When the seed turned into a normal - sized watermelon，she \_12\_ it with her friends and neighbors. Everybody liked its taste.
Miriam's family got the seeds \_13\_ the watermelon and planted more afterwards. They were so delicious that the neighbors offered to buy some. The watermelons brought extra money \_14\_ Miriam's parents didn't have to be away for work as much. They had more family time.
Miriam finally knew what Uncle Esai meant—be patient，and life will be as \_15\_ as a watermelon!
