Long ,long ago there was a poor girl called Polly who lived next to the beach she had a strange , little cottage but was happy. Early one morning , Polly went for a walk with a rusty bike to collect shells. She collected flat shells , curved shells and thin shells . Suddenly, Polly found the most beautiful shell she had ever seen, which was glistening in the sun .  Slowly , Polly bent down to pick up the shell, lying next to the rock pool ! To her amazement , the shell spoke. “I will grant you two wishes so chose wisely !” said the magnificent shell .
