Sam loved visiting the town library. He could spend hours reading about knights, pirates, and magical lands. But one rainy afternoon, he found something unexpected—a wooden door hidden behind a tall bookshelf.
Curious, he pushed it open and stepped inside. To his surprise, he wasn’t in a storage room but inside a glowing world of books! Towering bookshelves stretched as far as he could see, and characters from stories walked around—a pirate adjusting his hat, a dragon stretching its wings, and a wizard flipping through a spellbook.
“Where am I?” Sam whispered.
An owl wearing tiny glasses fluttered down. “Welcome to the Enchanted Library, where stories come to life! But beware—if you stay too long, you might become part of a book forever.”
Sam’s eyes widened. He loved stories, but he didn’t want to be trapped in one!
“How do I get back?” he asked.
The owl pointed to a floating book with golden pages. “Find the right story and read the magic words.”
Sam raced past knights and mermaids, searching the shelves. Finally, he found a book titled “The Boy Who Found the Secret Library.”
He quickly opened it and read aloud, “Every adventure must find its end, take me home, my time I’ll spend.”
A bright light surrounded him, and when he blinked—he was back in the real library! The wooden door had vanished.
Sam smiled. He didn’t need a magical door—because every time he opened a book, he could go on an adventure.
The End.
