Once upon a time, the Mejia family went on a vacation to the beach. Mariana, her mom, her dad, her older sister, and their dog, Max, were very excited about the trip. They had planned it for a long time.

    When they arrived, they were amazed by the beautiful beach and the sound of the waves. They had dreamed about this vacation, and now it was finally happening.

One evening, while Mariana and her older sister were exploring the beach, they met a mysterious woman. She looked very strange. “There is a monster on a beach near here." She told them.

The girls were scared of the monster but also curious. 

"What do we do?" Mariana asked.

The lady said, "The monster used to be a person. He was enchanted by a witch. To free him, you must find special ingredients from around the world.

Max, the dog, was listening to everything. He believed that he could help the monster. Without thinking twice, Max ran towards the beach where the monster was. Mariana and her sister followed him quickly. They were worried about the monster, but they knew Max was trying to help.

When they arrived, they saw the monster. He looked sad and lonely. "I used to be a person," the monster said. "The witch turned me into this. Can you help me?"

Mariana and her sister said: "We will help you,". They remembered what the lady had said about the ingredients.

Mariana, her sister, and Max started their journey to find the ingredients. They knew it would not be easy, but they were determined to help the monster. They prepared for the adventure by learning about different places around the world.

Their first stop was in Africa, where they had to find a special flower. They were riding an elephant when they finally found it. "This is the flower we need," Mariana said. They carefully picked it and continued their journey.

    Next, they went to the Amazon rainforest to find a rare leaf. They walked for hours in the dense jungle. "There it is!" Mariana’s sister said. They grabbed the leaf and added it to their collection.

    Then, they flew to the snowy mountains of the Himalayas to find a unique crystal. They climbed for a long time and were very tired. "We can do this," Mariana told her sister. They finally found the crystal and felt very happy.
