Once upon a time, in a land far away,
Lived a little boy who loved to play.

He had a belt, so shiny and new,
It held up his pants, it was strong and true.

Every night, he slept in his bed,
With a cozy pillow under his head.

One day, he received an envelope so grand,
Inside was a letter from a faraway land.

It spoke of a carriage, so bright and red,
And how it could take him anywhere he led.

He learned about facets, so bright and bold,
Each one a different shape to behold.

The concept of shapes was new to him,
But he learned quickly, with a happy grin.

A catalyst can cause a change,
Making things new and quite strange.

He learned about deposition, layer by layer,
And how it made the earth so fair.

Accuracy was important, he soon found out,
To make sure his measurements were never in doubt.

And so the little boy grew and learned,
With each new lesson, his mind had turned.

He looked forward to the adventures ahead,
With his shiny belt, cozy bed, and a curious head.
