Benny was a little boy who loved balloons. One day, at the park, he saw a bright red balloon stuck in a tree. He tugged on the string and—pop!—it came free. But something magical happened.
“Hello, Benny!” said the balloon.

Benny’s eyes went wide. “You can talk?”
“Yes! My name is Bobo,” said the balloon. “Want to go on an adventure?”
Benny giggled. “Yes, Bobo! Where are we going?”
With a whoosh, Bobo lifted Benny gently into the air. Up they went, past fluffy white clouds, over a shimmering blue lake, and even above a rainbow! Benny waved to the birds and laughed as the wind tickled his nose.
Then, Bobo whispered, “Hold on tight! We’re going to visit the Cotton Candy Castle!”
Benny gasped as they floated toward a castle made of pink, fluffy cotton candy. The windows were chocolate, and the doors were made of giant marshmallows. The Candy King welcomed them with a big lollipop.
“Benny, since you’re kind and brave, here’s a special candy that never melts!” said the king.
Benny took a bite—it tasted like strawberries and sunshine!
After a fun day of bouncing on jellybean trampolines, Bobo said, “It’s time to go home, Benny.”

With a happy heart, Benny held onto Bobo as they floated gently back to the park. When his feet touched the ground, he yawned.
“Thank you, Bobo,” Benny said.
“Goodnight, Benny,” whispered the balloon as it floated away.
Benny smiled and held his magical candy. That night, he dreamed of flying again.
The End.
