Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. But it was a very hot day and the sun was bright. They felt tired and thirsty.
"Let's find some shade," Anna said to Ben. "We can rest and drink some water."
They looked around and saw a big tree with many green leaves. They ran to the tree and sat under it. The shade was cool and nice. They drank some water from their bottles and felt better.
"Look, what is that?" Ben pointed to something shiny on the ground. It was a small metal ring with a red stone in it. It sparkled in the sun.
"Maybe it is a treasure," Anna said. She picked up the ring and examined it. She turned it around and looked at the stone. It was smooth and bright.
"Can I see it?" Ben asked. He reached out his hand.
"OK, but be careful," Anna said. She gave the ring to Ben. He examined it too. He rubbed the stone and felt its warmth.
"It is very pretty," Ben said. "Do you think someone lost it?"
"Maybe," Anna said. "Or maybe it is a magic ring. Maybe it can make wishes come true."
"What would you wish for?" Ben asked.
Anna thought for a moment. She looked at the ring, then at Ben, then at the park. She smiled.
"I would wish for more days like this," she said. "More days to play with you and have fun."
Ben smiled too. He nodded.
"Me too," he said. He put the ring on his finger. It fit perfectly.
They held hands and closed their eyes. They made their wish together. Then they opened their eyes and laughed.
They did not know if the ring was magic or not. But they felt happy and lucky. They decided to keep the ring as a secret. They put it in their pocket and got up.
"Let's play some more," Anna said.
"OK, let's go," Ben said.
They ran to the slide and slid down. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their skin. They were not tired anymore. They were having the best day ever.
