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