Once upon a time, two friends named Alex and Poppy were playing on a sunny beach. They built massive sandcastles and splashed in the warm waves, laughing and having fun. Suddenly, the sky began to darken. The sun hid behind thick clouds, and a strange hush fell over the beach. The seagulls who were as loud as exploding fireworks, suddenly went quiet and flew away in the opposite direction of the ocean. "What’s happening?" asked Poppy, looking nervously at Alex. Just then, a gigantic wave crashed onto the shore. From the frothy water, a frightening figure emerged—a sea witch! She rose high above the waves, her long hair flowing like seaweed, and her eyes glimmered with mischief. The sea witch raised her sparkling triton and pointed it straight at the two friends. Before they could run, a magical pull tugged at them, and they were swept under the water! In the blink of an eye, Alex and Poppy found themselves in the sea witch’s shimmering underwater cave, surrounded by glittering treasures and colourful fish. The sea witch smiled wickedly. “You will help me find my lost crown, or you must stay here forever!” The sea witch became distracted by a family of lost turtles, trying to enter her underwater cave. Alex looked at Poppy, his heart racing. “We need to get out of here!” With a nod of agreement, they started to tip-toe behind the mountains of treasure in the sea witch’s cave. Suddenly, they spotted a golden starfish that shimmered brightly—it looked magical! “Let’s grab it!” shouted Poppy, reaching out. As they grasped the starfish together, a brilliant light filled the cave! With a bright flash, the starfish granted them one wish. The friends looked at each other, grinned, and shouted together, “Take us back home!” In an instant, they found themselves back on the sandy beach, the sun shining down once more. They cheered and hugged each other. “Where have you been?” Alex’s mum asked. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you!” Alex laughed.

Noong unang panahon, may isang dalagang nagngangalang Alona na hindi kailanman nanaginip. Habang ang ibang tao ay ikinukuwento ang kanilang makukulay na panaginip, siya ay nanatiling tahimik, sapagkat wala siyang kahit anong naaalala mula sa kanyang pagtulog. Isang gabi, habang nakaupo sa tabi ng lawa, biglang lumitaw ang isang diwata na may kumikislap na buhok na parang tala sa langit. “Alona,” wika ng diwata, “ikaw ay may sumpa mula sa iyong angkan. Ngunit ngayong gabi, nais kitang pagpalain ng unang panaginip mo.” “Bakit ako? Ano ang magiging panaginip ko?” tanong ni Alona. “Huwag kang matakot,” sagot ng diwata. “Sa iyong panaginip, matutuklasan mo ang sikreto ng iyong puso.” Sa gabing iyon, sa unang pagkakataon, nanaginip si Alona. Nakita niya ang isang hardin na puno ng gintong bulaklak at isang mahiwagang salamin. Nang tumingin siya rito, nakita niya hindi lamang ang kanyang sarili kundi pati ang kanyang mga pangarap—paglalakbay, pagtulong sa pamilya, at isang mapayapang buhay. Nang magising siya, napaluha siya sa tuwa. Hindi lamang ito isang larawan sa isip, kundi isang gabay sa hinaharap. Mula noon, si Alona ay nagsimulang mangarap hindi lamang sa gabi kundi pati sa totoong buhay. Ibinahagi niya ang kanyang kwento sa buong bayan, at natutunan ng lahat na ang panaginip ay isang paalala na maaaring maging realidad kung ito’y pagsisikapan. At mula noon, ayon sa alamat, ang bawat panaginip ng tao ay isang regalo mula sa diwata ng lawa.

He asked King Jiggy - "Where did you last see him?" "I saw him near the sphinx which asks questions, " King Jiggy replied. "The sphinx has the head of a human, body of a lion and wings of an eagle. " Niro and Zo went to the Sphinx, and asked him - "Have you seen Max?" "I will tell you the way to Max if you answer this question - 'What has a head and a tail but no body?'" Zo replied thoughtfully - "Head and a tail? What can it be Niro?" Niro said - "I know! It's a coin!" . The sphinx smiled and lifted its paw to let them inside. It was dark and dingy. They suddenly heard someone laugh loudly. When they looked to the right, they saw a firefly which was glowing in the dark. "Hi! I am Light! Where do you want to go?" "We lost Max, a jigsaw puzzle piece. Have you seen him?" "Yes! He went that way. Let me take you. " As Light went ahead, their way was blocked by a giant frog. He croaked - "I go up and down, but never move. What am I?" Zo wondered and then replied - "A staircase!" "You are right! You may enter!" Then all of them moved ahead and found Max sobbing in a corner. Max had lost his way and Niro gently hugged him. Light guided him outside the sphinx. King Jiggy thanked them for finding Max and completing the puzzle!

"Wow, Max! Should we take a trip to Mercury?" Henry exclaimed. "Absolutely, Henry! Let's go!" Sam replied. "Henry, did you know that Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun?" Sam asked. "Yes! It's only about 36 million miles away from the Sun. That's less than half the distance from the Earth to the Sun!" Henry replied. As the spaceship hovered above Mercury's surface, Sam said, "Henry, it's super hot here during the day. Temperatures can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit!" "But at night," Henry added, "it gets really cold, as low as -290 degrees Fahrenheit. That's quite a swing! Imagine how difficult it would be to live here." Henry and Sam decided to wear their special space suits that kept them cool during the scorching day and warm during the freezing night. They stepped onto the planet's rocky ground, feeling a bit like explorers on a new world. While walking around, they spotted a small, friendly robot. "Hi there! I'm Mercury's Messenger. I was sent to gather information about this planet. Would you like to learn some fun facts?" "Sure!" Henry and Sam said in unison. "Mercury doesn't have an atmosphere like Earth," said the Messenger. "That's why its surface is covered in craters. The lack of air also means there's no wind, and the sky is always black, even during the day." "Wow! That's so different from Earth," Henry said. "How long is a day on Mercury?" The Messenger replied, "One day on Mercury lasts about 59 Earth days. But it orbits the Sun quickly, taking just 88 Earth days to complete one revolution. So, a year on Mercury is shorter than two Mercury days!" As they approached Earth, Henry said, "Sam, we learned so much about Mercury today! It's a fascinating place, but definitely not suitable for humans to LIVE." "You're right, Henry. But it was an incredible adventure, and I'm glad we got to explore it together," Sam replied with a smile.
