Run, run, run! John ran as fast as he could. He had to get to the old well before the sun set. John was deaf and could not hear the birds twittering or the wind rustling in the trees. 
He finally got to the well. It was very old, but he could still see that it was deep. When he peered in, he could see rocks below. They sparkled like tiny diamonds in the light of the setting sun. 
John felt brave and he jumped in! He was so excited. He went deeper and deeper until he could touch the bottom. He laughed and ran his hands over the pebbles. But then he remembered that he could not stay here forever. 
So John climbed back out of the well and started running back home. His mom was waiting for him and she was worried because he was deaf. 
John smiled to himself as he ran. He was so glad he had gone to the well and had such an adventure before going home!
