The Ball

Once upon a time there was a ball. It was a special ball， made of a special material so it was very strong and could bounce really high.

The ball wanted to go explore the world， so one day it decided to escape. It rolled and rolled and rolled， until it came to a stop in a big city.

It saw all the tall buildings， the busy streets and the people walking by. It felt very small in this huge city， and it was scared.

But then it remembered the special material it was made of and the fact that it could bounce really high. So it started bouncing from one side of the street to the other， and gradually it started to feel brave again.

The ball kept bouncing， until it eventually reached a park. It was beautiful， with lots of trees and flowers， and the ball felt so happy. It spent hours bouncing around the park and exploring all the different paths.

And from that day on， the ball knew that no matter how big the world was， it could always find a place to call home.
