The Magic Box

In an old little attic, two children called Ben and Ella were looking. Ben suddenly spotted something, a carved dusty box that looked rather ancient. "What''s inside" wondered Ella "Then lets open it" suggested Ben. Ben opened the box it creaked slightly then glitter came swirling out of it, because of a little fairy. "Thank you for saving me, to repay you I will grant you four wishes" and with that she was off. The children stood there amazed they couldn''t understand what they had just seen "well lets try it, what do you want to wish for Ben" said Ella excitedly. "I wish... I wish... I wish we were astronauts in space". As soon as Ben had said it they found themselves in a spaceship "Cool we''re astronauts" Ben cried, but Ella wasn''t so keen so she muttered her own wish, she wished she was in the land of rainbows. Where she bounced higher and higher so she could nibble the candyfloss clouds "this is boring, I want to go to the jungle" said Ben gloomily but he suddenly realised he was in the jungle. "Ahhha" screamed Ella "It''s a lion" "Then wish to go somewhere else" Ben shouted back. "I wish we were home again" she cried, in a whirl of glitter they were in the attic again and they decided to go straight to bed.
