The yellow stone looked like a little sun inside the bag. Ruby pulled it out and placed it on the blankets in her bed. The gold flecks glowed darker as the stone warmed the air around her. Ruby decided to pick it up and hold it close to her heart as she slept. The heat from the stone filled her chest with a strange sensation. She wasn’t quite sure what it was, but it felt really good.

When she woke, she was being carried. She looked up and saw a beautiful, yellow animal holding her.

“What are you?” she asked.

“I am a Spangle. My name is Sunny and you have obviously come across my magic, yellow stone.”

Ruby replied, “Yes, I did. How do you help me?”

Sunny explained the yellow stone was one of the most powerful to exist. It would give Ruby’s brain the ability to read and understand at the same time. The yellow stone would give her the power to love books! And that would open up so many other gifts as well.

“But I hate reading. I have never read anything I liked. I’m not sure if I believe the yellow stone has all the power you think it does,” Ruby said.

“Just wait, my dear. Just wait!” Sunny said with a smile.
