"Little blind Bobby".
There was a young boy called Blind Bobby. He had been blind from a young age but he could remember how good it was to see things.
The doctors had told him he would never see again and there was nothing they could do.
One day his Mummy said to him "Bobby, an angel spoke to me today, she said that tonight is a special night, a magical night where little boys can have anything they wish for, but only if they wish really hard and pray really hard!"
"You mean that if I wish hard enough and pray hard enough I might be able to see again?" said little Blind Bobby.
"Yes darling" said his Mummy, "but only if you wish really really hard and pray really really hard."
Little Blind Bobby was full of excitement, he couldn't wait for bedtime to come round!
As night fell, little Blind Bobby got into bed and knelt, he wished and he wished, he prayed and he prayed that the magic would give him his sight back like his Mummy promised. He prayed and wished, wished and prayed until he fell fast asleep with exhaustion from wishing and praying.
In the morning little Blind Bobby awoke, his eyes full of tears. Alas his sight had not returned and with utter despair and sadness he said to his Mummy "Mummy, I wished really hard and prayed really hard but I didn't get my sight back!"
"I know darling" said Mummy, "April Fool!"
