Once upon a time in a quiet little town, there was a magical doll named Rosie. Rosie had the power to grant wishes during the lunch hour. This lunch hour was the only time when Rosie would come to life and use her magic. Every day, at exactly 12 o'clock, Rosie would awaken from her usual state of stillness and start roaming around.

Some wished for good grades, others for new toys, and a few even wished for magical adventures. Rosie would grant these wishes, dazzling the children with her powers. But Rosie wasn't just a magical doll; she was also kind-hearted. She knew that not all wishes had to be materialistic. Rosie understood that sometimes, a listening ear or a comforting presence was all a child needed. So, she would often spend time talking to the children, offering them advice, and reassuring them that everything would be alright. The lunch hour would fly by, and before the children knew it, Rosie would return to her still state. Until the next day, when the clock struck twelve, Rosie would patiently wait for her magical lunchtime to come once again. Rosie's lunch hour visits brought joy and excitement to the children's lives. They eagerly looked forward to seeing her, sharing their wishes, and basking in her magical presence. Rosie may have been just a doll, but her ability to grant wishes and bring happiness during the lunch hour was truly extraordinary..
