Jake had always been curious about the old oak tree in his backyard. It was huge, with twisted roots and deep grooves in its bark. But one day, something strange happened. As he played near the tree, a small silver key dropped from the branches!
Jake picked it up. “Where did this come from?”
Then, he noticed something new—a tiny wooden door at the base of the tree. It was hidden between the roots, covered in glowing blue symbols.
With a deep breath, he fit the key into the lock. CLICK! The door swung open, revealing a swirling tunnel of light.
Before he could think, the tunnel pulled him in—WHOOSH!
Jake tumbled onto soft, blue grass under a sky filled with two suns. Giant mushroom-shaped buildings floated in the air, and strange creatures with glowing eyes and silver skin walked around.
“Welcome to Planet Y!” said a small alien with three arms and a big smile. “I’m Zeko. Who are you?”
“I’m Jake,” he said, still trying to believe what he was seeing. “Where am I?”
“This is my home,” Zeko said proudly. “Only special humans find the secret door!”
Zeko showed Jake amazing things—hovering trains, talking plants, and waterfalls that flowed upward!
But soon, a loud alarm echoed across the sky.
“The door is closing!” Zeko gasped. “If you don’t go back now, you’ll be stuck here forever!”
Jake ran toward the glowing portal. “Will I ever see you again?” he asked.
“Maybe,” Zeko said with a wink. “Planet Y appears to those who truly believe!”
With a final leap, Jake jumped through the portal—WHOOSH!—and landed back in his backyard.
The door was gone.
Was it all a dream? Jake felt something in his hand—the silver key. He smiled. Maybe one day, the secret door would open again…
The End.
