As I opened my eyes, I looked outside the window. It was raining heavily. The thunder was so noisy. I couldn&#39;t sleep anymore. Therefore, I played my favourite NDS game &ldquo;Super Mario&rdquo;. When I switched on the NDS, I saw a sentence on the screen.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Do you want to come to my world and save me? <br \/>From Princess Peach.&rdquo;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>I doubted.&ldquo;Are you talking to me?&rdquo; I asked through the microphone in NDS. &ldquo;Sure! Paul, I need your help. You will be Mario in my world. Come on!&rdquo; Oh! My favourite games character Princess Peach talked to me! It was unbelievable! <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;I will be Mario and save my lovely princess! She may marry me afterward&#8230; Wow!&rdquo; I thought. Therefore, I pressed the &ldquo;Yes&rdquo; button.&nbsp; Suddenly, a strong vortex drew me into the NDS and then I fainted&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;When I woke up, I found myself in a very colourful place. <br \/>&ldquo;It&#39;s Mario&#39;s World. It looks more realistic than on the NDS screen. It was fantastic!&rdquo; I shouted. <br \/>There were many plants and the weather was good too. However, I was so small, as small as a flower. I touched my face, there was a big nose and a curly beard. I touched my head. There was a cap with an &ldquo;M&rdquo; sign. I looked at my clothes, it was red in colour. &ldquo;I am Mario now!&rdquo; I beamed so glad and excited.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;I ran along the road. I saw some blocks which had the question-mark signs on it. I jumped and collided the block as usual. However, I used my own head this time. It was painful! Then, a red mushroom came out. I ate it and my body became bigger!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;Suddenly, a brown mushroom monster came. &ldquo;Oh! It&#39;s easy to kill the monster.&rdquo; I laughed. I tried to jump onto the monster&#39;s head and kill him with my feet.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Arr! Why is it so difficult to kill? Why is it different from the NDS game?&rdquo;&nbsp; I got hurt and became smaller again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;I kept going carefully. I saw a monster turtle. He ran towards me and attacked me. I was so scared. I ran as quickly as I could but he kept chasing after me.&nbsp; <br \/>&ldquo;Oh! I am going to die! What could I do?&rdquo; I cried. <br \/>&ldquo;Don&#39;t be scared, my dear! Go down into the green tunnel and you will be saved! Be quick!&rdquo; I heard the princess&#39; voice. So, I went down the tunnel immediately.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;In the tunnel, there were many coins. I collected 100 coins. Then, a flower came out. I ate the flower and my clothes became white. &ldquo;Wow! I have a gun now! I can kill the monsters by shooting them!&rdquo; I laughed . I became braver.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;The destination of the tunnel was the castle. It was the final stage of the game. At that stage, there were many volcanoes and lavas. I saw a man who wore a cap which had an &ldquo;L&rdquo; sign, with a green shirt and a big beard. He looked like me but he was thinner than me.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo; Hello ! I am Luigi. Where are you going to?&rdquo; he asked. <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo; I am going to the castle to save the princess. Do you know where the castle is ?&rdquo;&nbsp; I replied.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;Save the princess? Are you coming from the real world?&rdquo; I nodded my head.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;The princess is a very bad girl. She cheats the children to the game world&nbsp; and forces them to become her slaves!&rdquo; Luigi continued.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&ldquo;My lovely princess won&#39;t cheat me. Maybe Luigi is jealous of me. I won&#39;t believe him. I must save my princess!&rdquo; I thought. Then, I continued my adventure.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;When I arrived at the castle, a girl who wore pink dress with golden hair came out and she welcomed me. <br \/>&ldquo;Oh! My Mario! You kept your promise. Thank You for coming! You are my hero!&rdquo; Princess Peach yelled. I was so happy and gave a kiss to the princess. <br \/>Suddenly, the princess turned into Monster Bowser who was huge and with big thorns on his carapace. I wanted to run away but he quickly caught me.&nbsp; <br \/>&ldquo;It&#39;s too late. You will be my slave and live here forever. Ha ha ha&hellip;&rdquo; Bowser laughed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;No! No! No! I don&#39;t want to stay here! Help me !&rdquo; I shouted.<br \/>&ldquo;If you want to leave here, you must kill me. However, I am stronger than you. I don&#39;t think you can! Ha ha!&rdquo; Bowser beamed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;I was angry. I wanted to fire him but he moved quickly. He rushed to me. I was hurt by him and became smaller again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &ldquo;I won&#39;t give up! Come on, Paul! You can do it!&rdquo; I encouraged myself. I jumped onto his head and hit his eyes.&nbsp; <br \/>&ldquo;Oh my eyes! You are so cunning!&rdquo; he yelled. After hitting him for three times, Bowser lay down on the floor. <br \/>&ldquo;I win! I can go back to my world!&rdquo; I grinned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;Bee&#8230;bee&#8230;&rdquo; I heard the sound from NDS. &ldquo;Your NDS was in low battery. Although you defeated me, you still can&#39;t leave here! Then, you&rsquo;ll be one of the characters in this game. Ha ha&#8230;&rdquo; Bowser whispered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&ldquo;What can I do? I have already tried my best. I want to go home&#8230;&rdquo; I cried loudly. Luigi came out with a big mushroom. <br \/>&ldquo;Don&#39;t worry, my brother! Let&#39;s have the big mushroom! &ldquo;Luigi said. <br \/>&ldquo;Thank you! You are really my clearest brother. I won&#39;t forget your help!&rdquo; I ate the mushroom and became huge Mario. It was bigger than the screen of NDS, so I broke the screen and went back to the real world successfully.<\/p>\n<p>I went back to my room. It was 8 am. <br \/>&ldquo;I&#39;m save! I&#39;m really save! Thank You Luigi! I am so glad that you come.&rdquo;&nbsp; &ldquo;What&#39;s matter? Your voice woke me up! Oh! Why is your NDS broken? Should I buy a new one for you?&rdquo;&nbsp; mother asked. <br \/>&ldquo;No&#8230;no thanks! I won&#39;t go to this horrible place forever! I mean&#8230;I won&#39;t play NDS anymore!&rdquo; I replied quickly. &ldquo;Really? My son, that&#39;s good news!&rdquo; my mother smiled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One night, I was awakened by the sound of distant thunder.
