Long long ago, in a strange, little cottage there was a poor girl called polly. Though she was poor, Polly was happy. Polly went for a walk and  she found a beautiful flat shell, curved and coloured. To her amazement the shell spoke “I will grant two wishes so choose wisely!”

Early one morning, Polly found the most beautiful shell, which glistened in the sun, Lying next to the rock pool!  Polly bent down to pick up the shell.
