The World of Books - 

Only for Those Who Dare to Dream

In a small town full of colorful flowers and houses with red rooftops, there lived a little boy named Alex. Alex had an imagination as big as a giant balloon, but he was convinced that reading was boring. One day, as he wandered along the path behind his school, he noticed an old wooden door he had never seen before. Written on it in golden letters were the words: „The World of Books - Only for Those Who Dare to Dream”. 

As soon as he touched the handle, the door creaked open, and Alex stepped into a vast room filled with bookshelves. But these books were unlike any others: some flew like birds, others whispered stories, and a few hopped around on the floor like frogs!

“Welcome, Alex!” said a warm voice. In front of him stood an old man in a sparkling coat covered with moving letters. “I am Mr. Alphabet, and you’ve been chosen to discover the magic of reading!”

Alex blinked in surprise. “Magic? But books are boring,” he said, scratching his head.

Mr. Alphabet chuckled, his coat shimmering like a starry night. “Ah, only to those who haven’t unlocked their true power. Let me show you.”

He waved his hand, and a glowing book floated down from a nearby shelf. The cover shimmered with an image of a roaring dragon and a brave knight. As soon as the book opened, a gust of wind swirled around Alex, and he felt himself being lifted off the ground.

“Hold on tight!” Mr. Alphabet called.

Before Alex could ask what was happening, he found himself standing in the middle of a vast battlefield. The knight from the book was battling the enormous dragon, its scales glimmering like molten gold.

“Help me!” the knight shouted as he dodged a fiery breath from the beast.

Alex’s heart pounded. “How can I help?” he called back, looking around for something useful.

He looked everywhere he could, but he didn't found anything. Then, he stared a bit at the knight. He seemed so helpless and scared. Alex couldn't take anymore. He approached to the dragon and the knight, shouting " Stop, Stop !". After, the whole world dissappeared and turned black. " What happened?" he wondered. Suddenly, Mr. Alphabet appeared on a rainbow, made of books and letters. " You have taught yourself about courage " he said and made his disapearance. Now, Alex was standing alone in the middle of dark, trying to find a way out of here and get home. Soon, he found a golden lasso in his pocket and examined it carefully and precisely. He found nothing unusual. Then, he heard astrange noise coming from the dark. " What could it be?" he asked himself. 

Suddenly, the golden lasso in his hand began to glow, illuminating the darkness around him. The strange noise grew louder, echoing through the void.Alex tightened his grip on the lasso and took a deep breath.Then, from the shadows, a gigantic book with shimmering pages floated toward him.Its cover was engraved with the words: "The final Chapter Awaits".As Alex hesitated, the book opened by itself, and a powerful gust of wind pulled him inside.With a flash of light, he found himself back in the magical library, standing before Mr. Alphabet once more.

“You have unlocked the greatest secret of all,” Mr. Alphabet said, his eyes twinkling.
“What secret?” Alex asked, still catching his breath.

Alex thought: ,,I have to tell other children what amazing adventures I,ve been through! Everyone has the right to know what treasures are hidden in books. Can I take this magic with me outside the bookstore?,, he asked barely audibly.

,, Yes, of course, you can take a book!,, replied Mr. Alphabet.

,, I want to show it to other children, and tell them about the unexpected doors it open!  Today I discovered a treasure, I want to share it!,,

Mr. Alphabet smiled:,, I knew I could count on you, my dear! THE STORY GOES ON!,,
