Gazing into the wishing well, Noah had no idea that his wish was about to come true.
One day a boy named Noah was at his house with his mum. There was a wishing well 2mins away from his house. His friends told him that it was a magic wishing well. But Noah didn’t believe them. So he asked his mum “Can I go, please, please!”
“NO,” said mum “Not today!”
Then that night he woke up and climbed out of his window and went to the wishing well. He got his coin and flipped it up. And then it was all quiet. He wished for his dad to come back alive. And then he saw a man coming out of the well and it was my dad! He was so happy.
Then the well filled up with money.
