The magical Box:


Now this is a magical box. If you touch it by any three of your fingers at the same time you would be drifted to a magical Dreamland,” Dad and Uncle’s magician training instructor said to the family. Ooh!” said everyone with curiosity. Every year when there were summer holidays, dad and uncle used to go to a camp where they learned magic tricks. “And your mission is to make this Dreamland fertile, “said the instructor and he continued that “This is a precious box not like any ordinary little box. So handle it carefully, “he said. “Okay! sir, we will take at most care of it” said, dad.


Testing Time:


 Dad can we try the magic box out?” asked lily. “Alright, but only if all of us go together,” said Dad. “Uncle, can I touch by my Index, middle and ring finger please,” asked, Thea. “Of course,” said Dad. A moment later Thea touched it. Lily, Thea, Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, Grandma, and Grandpa were drifted to the magical dreamland. “Wow! This place is gorgeous, but some of the things staying here need to be repaired,” said Mom. Yeah! the trees and plants need manure and water so that they grow tall enough to bring shade and carry rainfall” said Uncle. “Hey! There is a small village” said Aunt. And the people there are starving as there are hardly any plants,” said Grandma. ”Oh, this is why our instructor gave us this mission to make this land fertile. So it’s all for a good cause” exclaimed dad


Mission: Help the Dreamland:


Let’s go for a walk,” said Grandma. “Fixing the Dreamland is our mission,” said Aunt. “Let’s split up. Ted and I will buy some seeds, manure, and soil for the plants. Lily and Thea pick some veggies and fruits from what we have brought and give them to the people living in the dreamland, Mom and Aunt dig some holes in the ground for planting the seeds, Grandma and Grandpa your job is to supervise Explained Dad.

Teamwork Begins!


 While dad and uncle went to the market to buy the products, Mom and Aunt started digging holes in the ground and Thea and Lily helped the starving people. Later Dad and uncle returned from the market. Bad luck the seeds in the market had been sold and because of wasting water the harvest delayed and without fruits, there is no seed and even the stem of the plant which is cut to plant new products are out and even the bryophilum plants have run out,” said uncle. “So how do we plant plants,” asked Grandpa Bob. “They mentioned that in the remote island of palm yraatoll, there are some seeds left under the ground by some ancient pirates which they threw in the ground as they thought it was useless after eating the fruits. Now as there is no rainfall due to wasting water it has not grown” said Dad. “How will we find its specific place as the island is vast with so much sand?” asked Aunt Sally. “And how will we get to that remote island, as all the boats should have been rented for the holiday,” said Lily. “We have the map and we can go there using ‘Unify’ our very own magical flying Unicorn” answered dad.


Let’s get going:


Fabulous idea! Uncle” said, Thea. “Then! What are we waiting for, let’s board Unifly” said Mom? They got ready in a snap of fingers. “Do you remember the magic words?” asked Uncle after boarding the cardboard fixed to the unifly. “Fly high rise into the sky” cried Lily and Thea in unison. The unicorn raised into the sky. “I want to go on the Unicorn,” said Lily. “No, me,” said Thea. “Why are you both fighting, there is room for both, carefully one after the other, you both board the Unicorn,” said Uncle. Lily sat before Thea. “Have we reached” asked Lily “No Lily, you can pass the time by playing vocabulary race,” suggested Aunt. “Ok aunt, sally, my first word is dreamland,” said Lily. “Delight,” said Thea taking Lily word’s last letter as her word’s first letter. After a few hours, they reached Palm yratoll island.


A massive search:


“We have arrived at the Island” announced Dad. “The map says after the 3 crossed palm trees we should take fifty footsteps of about 20cm legged person,” said Mom. “I think Lily and Thea’s feet will be the right size,” said Dad. Lily and Thea took fifty steps and dig up a hole in the exact position. “Hey! There are no seeds here, but a treasure chest!!” said Grandma Minty. “No mom it says we should let Thea and Lily take 30 steps facing left and, we should find a big X and that is the correct place to dig” explained Aunt Sally. Thea and Lily took another 30 steps and dug the place marked X but they did not find the seeds. “Now what to do” sighed Grandpa. “I think since X is closer to the sea, when the tide came in and out, it transported the seeds much further,” said Lily. “Fabulous thought! Lily” said, Dad. After a little hunt, “Here, it is safe and sound” said Mom after spotting the seeds. “Maybe we should take the treasure with us too,” said Uncle. They were about to leave when. “Hey where’s Unifly,” said Aunt. “Maybe Unifly also got transported, here she is,” said Grandma detecting Unifly. They got onto Unifly and said the magic words and the Unicorn started flying.

The Excited group started serenading

 

!!! Bon voyage Island

Hunting for the seeds

Which the Dreamland needs

Map told X was the spot

But it was not

Sea transported, our seedy friends further away

By making the waves perform ballet

Finding the pirate treasure

By footstep measure

 

Let’s get to work:

Dad and uncle planted the seeds while the others made a scarecrow. “Oh! No, the scarecrow has a smiling face the birds won’t go away” said Aunt seeing the scarecrow, “we can use unifly as an alarm system, by chanting some magic words so that, it will fly like a drone” said Dad. “The magic words are SPOT SOME HUNGRY BIRDS AND MAKE AN ALARM, WORK AS A DRONE AROUND THE FARM” chanted Dad. Immediately the unicorn acted as a drone and spotted some birds, and its loud siren made the birds fly away. Later on, the family bought many modern and useful products which will help in the growth of the plants by selling the treasure chest. After a few weeks, the fresh veggies grew and were able to feed the people dwelling there, until which, the reserves which they brought, with them, was sufficient to feed the people.

A Double Surprise!

After a month, the instructor came, checked the dreamland, and exclaimed, “Great feat, you have successfully completed the mission. I wanted to show you the true magic is love through the magic box. By the way how did you manage to succeed in your mission?” he asked. Uncle narrated the whole incident. “I want you to give a speech to the community about this” the instructor summoned. Finally, the Instructor declared “Mr. Brown and Mr. Ted Now you both are fully qualified Magicians”. “Yahoo” shouted Lily and Thea. On the day of the speech “The True Magic Is Love” started Dad. The speech was a huge success. Yet another task accomplished by the brown family!
