The most magic golden ring was made from gold so magic that if you put it in the garden, golden flowers grew. Before long, there were buttercups and marigolds everywhere. The most magic golden ring was made from gold so magic that if you put it in the kitchen, the most magic golden cakes appeared, made from golden syrup and cooked golden, topped with golden sugar. The most magic golden ring was made from gold so magic that when it was put in the car, the engine worked perfectly. It never broke down again ... the wheels never got a puncture, the carboretta never got rusty. No more greasy oil, no more exhaust fumes, only clouds of golden dust. The most magic golden ring was so magic that if it was put inside a zoo - the animals turned golden, too. The cheetah had yellow stripes and the cat purred a golden mieouw ... there were golden zebras and golden hummingbirds, golden lions and golden rhinocerouses and golden cows. The most magic golden ring was made from gold so magic that if you put it in the bathroom, the water in the taps ran golden, and the toothpaste squirted out gold ... The most magic golden ring was made from gold so magic that it shone and you could see it from anywhere in the universe. The most magic golden ring was so magic that it could fit on every size hand ... so magic, in fact, that once it started to spin nothing on Earth could stop it spinning ... it did not stop. It orbited the Moon and headed towards the stars. That's how Saturn got it's rings. The most magic golden ring was was made from gold so magic that it could catch wishes. Once you put it on, you could make as many wishes as you wanted ... and they would all come true. The most magic golden ring was made from gold so magic that if it was raining and you wished for a summer's day, the clouds disappeared and everything was bright and gay. Magic.
