I Have a Trash Can

Zhuang Xiaoniu is a truly remarkable little girl.

Other pretty girls wish for dolls, beautiful dresses, handsome boyfriends...

But not her. She wishes for...

A trash can that only I in the whole world can open.

That way, next time I throw away a math test I failed,

a snack I'm not sure I'm allowed to eat,

a romance novel I'm hiding, or a love letter to the boy who sits behind me,

Mom won't find out.

After wishing for this for ten years,

her wish finally comes true!

Zhuang Xiaoniu excitedly opens the trash can

and pulls out Heavenly King Zhong's floral swim trunks (°Д°)!
