Ben was miserable. He had a big ouch on his knee from falling down. He could not go out and play with his friends. He had to stay in his room and rest. He felt sad and lonely.
His mom came in with a candle. She said it was a special candle. She said it could send wishes to people who were far away. She said Ben could make a wish and blow out the candle. She said his wish would go to someone who needed it.
Ben thought hard. He did not know who to send his wish to. He thought of his grandma, who lived in another town. He missed her a lot. He wished she could come and visit him. He wished she could hug him and read him a story. He wished he could make her happy.
He blew out the candle and hoped his wish would come true. He felt a little better. He smiled at his mom and thanked her for the candle. He said he loved her.
The next day, Ben got a surprise. His grandma came to see him. She said she had a dream about him. She said she felt his wish in her heart. She said she wanted to come and cheer him up. She hugged him and read him a story. She said she loved him.
Ben was happy. He felt his ouch was not so bad. He felt his wish had worked. He felt he had sent some happiness to his grandma. He felt he had a special candle. He felt he was not miserable anymore.
