A Dusty Discovery
One rainy afternoon, Liam was exploring Grandpa’s attic when he stumbled upon an old, leather-bound book tucked inside a wooden chest.
Its cover was faded and golden, with the words:
“The Book of Forgotten Stories”
Curious, Liam carefully opened the book.
The pages were blank.
“Huh?” he muttered. “A book with no words?”
Just then, ink began to swirl across the first page, forming letters as if an invisible hand was writing.
The Story That Wrote Itself
Liam’s eyes widened as he read aloud:
“Once upon a time, a curious boy found a magical book that wrote stories on its own…”
Wait—that was him!
The ink kept moving.
“And as he turned the page, something super amazing happened…”
Liam hesitated. His heart pounded.
Slowly, he turned the page.
And suddenly—POOF!
A small blue dragon appeared out of thin air, sitting right in front of him!
It blinked at Liam and let out a tiny hiccup of smoke.
The Power of the Book
Liam gasped. “No way… Whatever this amazing book writes comes true!”
He flipped through the pages, excited. The next story appeared:
“A big treasure chest full of shiny gold appeared in the attic…”
With a sparkle of light—CLANK!—a treasure chest appeared at his feet!
Liam jumped in excitement. “This is the best book ever!”
But before he could read more, Grandpa appeared at the attic door.
“Oh-ho, so you found it,” Grandpa said with a knowing smile.
“You know about this?” Liam asked.
Grandpa chuckled. “Of course! But be careful, my boy… This book doesn’t just write stories.”
Liam tilted his head. “What do you mean?”
Grandpa leaned in close. “It writes adventures. And adventures always have surprises…”
A Story Unfinished
Liam turned back to the book. The ink was swirling again.
“But just as the boy learned about the book, the dragon let out a sneeze—”
Liam’s eyes widened. “Wait, what—?”
AH-CHOO!
The blue dragon sneezed a giant puff of smoke, filling the attic.
When the smoke cleared… the book was gone!
Liam and Grandpa looked at each other.
Grandpa chuckled. “Looks like the story isn’t over yet!”
And from that day on, Liam knew that somewhere out there, the Book of Forgotten Stories was still writing… just waiting to be found again.
Moral of the Story
