One day, I was reading a book called “Dolphins at Daybreak”. When Jack and Annie was under the sea in a sub-marine, the picture suddenly became colourful. The sea seemed moving. Eddies appeared. And I was swept away.
When I regained consciousness. I began to look around. Hey! Wasn’t it the tree house of Morgan le Fay’s? I had gone to the story book! But… how could I get back to my home?
“In order to become Master Librarians, we have to solve these four riddles as soon as possible.” It was a voice from a girl.
I saw two silhouettes in front of me. They were Jack and Annie. They were shocked for a few seconds when they saw me sitting on the path, so I told them what happened.
“Wow!” said Jack, and he thought for a few seconds. “Would you like to go on a trip with us?”
“Sure!”
We went to the magic tree house and began our trip.
The ride of the tree house was like a dream. Everything began to spin and we suddenly arrived in a beach. Annie picked up the riddle scroll. It said,
Rough and gray as rock
I’m plain as plain can be
But hidden deep inside
There’s great beauty of me
What am I?
We started to figure out this riddle with this clue. Jack soon found a “mini-sub”, a new one. We got inside and learned something about “mini-subs”, but it started moving suddenly. Annie had pressed the “ON” button and we were down in the deep. I saw many kinds of sea animals, starfishes, dolphins, sharks… sharks?! We quickly went back to the top of the sea, jumped out of the “mini-sub”, and swam to the shore.
When we were walking, Annie stepped on a shell. We thought of the riddle. It was rough and gray. It was plain. And there was a pearl inside!
We took out the riddle scroll. The riddle was gone, and in its place was: AN OYSTER.
We finally found out the answer. We took the magic tree again. Everything span, and I was at my home again.
After the trip, I learned many about the sea, and the spirit of adventure.
