Give me a short story that has a beginning/middle/end about a ball character. This is the prompt: the character repeatedly attempts to reach or get to an another object. Success or failure to reach this goal is the closure.

Once upon a time in a vibrant land filled with rolling hills and sparkling streams, there lived a small, cheerful ball named Benny. Benny was a bright orange ball with a big dream—to reach the Grand Oak Tree that stood majestically on the tallest hill in the land. It was said that if you touched the Grand Oak, your greatest wish would come true. One sunny morning, Benny decided it was finally time to embark on his journey. He bounced with excitement, rolling down the gentle slope of his grassy home, eager to reach the Grand Oak. But the path was long and full of obstacles. As Benny rolled his way toward the hill, he encountered a shallow stream. "I can’t cross this," he thought, feeling a bit disheartened. But then, an idea sparked in his round little head. Benny took a deep breath and gathered all his energy, launching himself into the air. With a mighty bounce, he flew over the stream and landed safely on the other side. "One obstacle down!" he cheered, his confidence growing. However, the journey wasn't over yet. Next came a set of sharp, rocky cliffs. Benny hesitated, the jagged rocks feeling daunting. He considered turning back, but he thought of the Grand Oak and the wish that awaited him. With a determined spirit, he decided to roll as fast as he could, zigzagging between the rocks. He stumbled and bumped into a few, but he persevered and made it past the cliffs. "Two obstacles down!" Benny exclaimed, invigorated by his bravery. As Benny finally approached the hill, he saw the Grand Oak Tree looming overhead, its leaves rustling in the breeze. Just a few more bounces, and he would be there! But suddenly, a fierce wind kicked up, pushing against him with all its might. Benny felt himself rolling backward, struggling against the gusts. “I won’t give up!” he shouted, mustering all of his strength and determination. He dug in hard, bouncing with all his might against the wind until finally, he managed to push through the last few feet. With one final bounce, Benny soared into the air and landed at the base of the Grand Oak Tree. He could hardly believe it. After a long and arduous journey filled with challenges, he had made it! He reached up and touched the rough bark of the tree, his heart racing with excitement. In that moment, Benny closed his eyes and wished with all his heart. As he opened them, a soft glow enveloped him, and he felt a surge of joy. He realized that the true magic wasn’t just in reaching the Grand Oak, but in the determination and courage he had shown along the way. Benny learned that success wasn’t merely about achieving his goal; it was about the incredible journey he undertook to get there. With a warm smile, he rolled back down the hill, ready to share his adventure with the other balls in the valley, inspiring them to chase their own dreams. And as he bounced back home, he didn't just carry the memory of the Grand Oak Tree but also the spirit of perseverance in his heart.
