Once upon a time, there was a cool shell on the beach. The shell was very pretty. It was blue and shiny. One day, a little boy named Tim found the shell while playing in the sand.
Tim picked up the shell and said, "Wow! You are a cool shell!" He showed the shell to his mom and dad. They both thought the shell was cool too. Tim wanted to take the shell home with him.
On the way home, Tim talked to the shell. "You will be my friend," he said. The shell did not talk back, but Tim knew the shell was happy to be his friend. They had a lot of fun together, and Tim loved his cool shell.
