Let us read a short story about a boy named Kiel who had the experience to travel in a magical
kingdom.
“Adventure to Remember” By:
Annabelle DC. Marañon

Kiel was looking at the clouds one

afternoon while he laid on the grass. He was
thinking about what is above those white and
cottony clouds. Are there kids up there whom he
can play with? Do they have toys the same as
his? Do their parents allow them to play outside
their houses? Are they free from the COVID-19
pandemic? These are the questions that play in
his mind. Kiel felt sad often because in the past
few months, he was not able to do his usual habits like playing with his friends.

Kiel was thinking deeply when a white big cat appeared in front of him. It is smiling broadly which
is unusual for a cat. Its tail was positioned straight in the air as it was happy to see him. He was about
to rub the cat when it ran fastly away from him.

Kiel was tempted to run after the cat. He didn’t notice that he’d gone far.

He was amazed when he saw the cat floated over the rainbow. He followed it until it reached
its destination. He saw an open gate of a kingdom. The cat looked back at him still smiling and said
“Welcome to our magical kingdom!”

Kiel was frightened when he realized that the cat was speaking but still asked it courageously.
Where am I? The cat didn’t answer and suddenly it disappeared like a bubble.

Kiel entered in the

magical kingdom. He was
welcomed by a wizard. He saw many
 children riding on different rides. All
were smiling and laughing. He was
standing when a group of children
approached him.
They invited him to come
with them and try the different
rides.

They first rode in a hot air balloon, in which riders leave the world behind and enjoy the
excitement of flight. The ride has ten colorful balloons that rise off the ground and spin, taking the
riders up, up, and away.

After the first ride, they tried to experience the adventure of riding a dinosaur just like in the
movies. They chose from the six dinosaur tubs to ride and maneuver it up and down while it revolves
around the central point.

Kiel was enjoying the company of his newfound friends so they chose unanimously the third
ride which is the bouncing boulder. A mini-tower ride that can carry at least six passengers to a height
of approximately 10 meters, then quickly drops in a series of short drops.

They were tireless and enjoying each other's company so they also tried other rides until they heard
an announcement. Everyone was asked to ready themselves for the magical moonlight parade. At the
end of the end, they witnessed the colorful fireworks display.

As Kiel was looking in the fireworks display, he wished that his family was also there to witnessed
what he saw. He missed them suddenly and closed his eyes. He felt someone was tapping his cheeks.
He opened his eyes slowly and saw her mother.

“It seemed that you had a great dream, you were smiling before I tapped your cheeks,” said mother

Kiel realized that it was all a dream.

“I rarely experienced a dream like that. I thought it was true!” he said

He started to narrate his adventure to mother on their way back home.
