A Second Chance

One day, an old couple in their nineties were so in love. They both went to the beach together and made a wish. They wished that they could be young again and live their lives all over again. As long as they were together, they would be happy. So they sat down on the sand, closed their eyes, and kissed each other. When they opened their eyes, they were young again!

Write the rest of the story. What do they decide to do now? How long will they stay like this?
