My Magic Rock!
^{By " + firstName + " " + lastName + "}

" + firstName + " went outside. " + heSheCap + " was going for a walk by " + self + ". " + heSheCap + " was going to walk " + walk + ". That was a place " + heShe + " liked to go.

As " + firstName + " was walking along, " + heShe + " happened upon a very round and very odd rock. It was all by itself on the ground. Not another rock was near. " + firstName + " stared at it then bent down to pick it up.

As soon as " + heShe + " held this odd, but beautiful, rock in " + hisHer + " hand, strange things began to happen. " + heSheCap + " looked at it carefully. The " + rock1 + " rock was " + rock2 + ". It was " + rock3 + " and had " + colors + " " + rock4 + " all over it. Then the rock began to hum. The sound was soft and low. " + firstName + " started to rub the " + rock1 + ", " + rock3 + " rock gently. It felt warm - not hot, just a nice warm.

Then " + firstName + " surprised " + self + " by remembering a secret wish " + heShe + " had. " + heSheCap + " was just saying to " + self + ", \"I wish I had " + fern.wish.value + ",\" when there, right beside " + himHer + ", was what " + heShe + " had wished! " + firstName + " knew " + heShe + " must have found " + hisHer + " very own magic rock and was just about to make a second wish.

\"" + firstName + ", " + firstName + ", wake up!\" " + firstName + "\'s " + fern.elder.value + " was calling " + himHer + " for breakfast.

After eating, " + firstName + " went outside still thinking about the beautiful dream. Just then, " + hisHer + " foot bumped into something. There on the ground, all by itself, was a rock. It was " + rock1 + " and " + rock2 + ". It was " + rock3 + " and had " + colors + " " + rock4 + " all over it.

Surprised and happy, " + firstName + " quickly picked up the rock. It was not round. It did not hum soft and low. It did not get warm nor make a wish happen. But, it was " + firstName + "'s special, magic rock anyway.

" + heSheCap + " put it " + fern.safe.value + ". That was a safe place. " + firstName + " kept the rock for a long, long time. Whenever " + heShe + " held " + hisHer + " special rock, " + heShe + " felt happy inside.
