STORY

Once upon a time, in a small town in the north of Spain, there was a beautiful school. This school was special, because it had a magic pond. One morning, Marc and his friends tried to touch the water of the pond. Suddenly, the water turned bright blue and started to sparkle. Marc reached out, and he fell inside! Elena jumped in to help him. They did not get wet. They found a secret garden under the water. It was full of colorful flowers and talking birds. They played all morning. When they climbed out, they were dry and very happy. It was a wonderful adventure.
