• Once upon a time there was a young boy named John. He wanted to go the ball but his mean stepmother said no unless you give me a red diamond.

• John didn’t have a red diamond. Soon he found a red diamond. He showed it to his stepmother and gave it to her. But the diamond was magic. The diamond started shining.

• His step mother is gone. The diamond wished John’s stepmother away. John has a good life and now John can go to the ball.

• John was getting ready for the ball. The diamond was heading home. John got to the ball just in time.
