Once upon a time, there was a wall right in the middle of a book. This wall was very important because it kept one side of the book safe from the other side. On the safe side, everything was calm and nice. But on the other side, there was something a little scary—a big ogre!
On the safe side of the wall, everyone felt happy and secure. They believed the wall protected them from the ogre, who might gobble them up if he ever got the chance. But guess what? Something unexpected happened!
One day, something strange started happening on the safe side. Suddenly, someone found themselves on the other side of the wall with the ogre! Oh no! But wait, the ogre wasn’t scary at all. He was actually very friendly!
The ogre smiled and said, “Hello! I’m a nice ogre, and this side of the book is amazing! Come with me, and I’ll show you around.” The person was surprised but happy to see that the other side was full of fun and adventure.
So, they decided to explore the other side together. They found out that it was a wonderful place with lots of exciting things to see and do. The ogre was a great friend, and they had lots of fun!
