Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park. They liked to spin on the swings and slide down the slide. They liked to make wishes on the dandelions.
One day, Lily and Ben went to the park. But they saw a big sign. The sign said: "Park closed. No playing." Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to play in the park.
"Why is the park closed?" Lily asked.
"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe they are fixing something."
"Maybe they are making it better," Lily said.
"Maybe," Ben said. "But I wish we could play now."
Lily saw a dandelion on the grass. She picked it up and blew on it. She made a wish. She wished the park would open soon.
"Look, Ben," she said. "A dandelion. You can make a wish too."
Ben picked up a dandelion and blew on it. He made a wish. He wished the park would open soon.
They held hands and walked to the fence. They looked at the park. They hoped their wishes would come true.
Then they heard a voice. It was the park keeper. He was smiling.
"Hello, kids," he said. "I have good news. The park is open again. You can play now."
Lily and Ben were happy. They thanked the park keeper. They ran to the swings and the slide. They spun and slid and laughed. They were glad their wishes came true.
