There once was a boy called Ben. Every morning before his parents woke up, Ben would go to his special place where no-one knows where he is. Ben loved his special place for two reasons. One because no-one knows where he is and also when he is sad and wants to be left alone. One very early Saturday morning he went to his special place. But when he got there, it was gone! He said “where did my Special place go”? Out of the corner of Ben’s eye he could see an old man staring at him. When Ben turned around to ask the man why he was staring at him but before he could he heard the most beautiful song he had ever heard. He saw a girl singing to the animals. She was the prettiest girl he’d ever seen before. He started walking to her and when he reached her she saw him walking to her and she said “hello can I help you? Ben said “sorry but you have the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard. “Thank you my name is Jordan what’s your name” “Ben” he said. Hello Ben. Ben and Jordan ended up falling in love and instead of a special place he found a special person to love.
