Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a magical sphere that could fly at incredible speeds. It was made of a special material that reflected light in a way that made it appear to be made of speckled specular surface. The sphere would glide smoothly through the air, following a beautiful spline path.

One day, while the sphere was flying, it encountered a problem. Smoke began to pour out of it, and it started to slow down. The sphere was afraid that it would crash, so it started to search for a safe spot to land.

As the sphere was searching, it noticed a small clearing on the surface of a nearby hill. The sphere flew towards it, but as it got closer, it realized that the surface was not flat, but instead it was full of bumps and tangents.

Despite the rough surface, the sphere decided to land anyway. As soon as it touched down, the smoke stopped pouring out. The sphere realized that it had landed on a spot that was just perfect for it to rest and recover.

The sphere stayed on the spot for a few days, until it was fully repaired and ready to fly again. And from that day on, whenever the sphere encountered any problems, it would always look for a safe spot to land, where it could rest and recover.

The end.

1. What was the sphere made of?
2. What happened to the sphere when smoke started pouring out?
3. Why did the sphere choose to land on the bumpy surface?
4. How did the sphere feel when it finally found a safe spot to land?
5. Have you ever experienced a similar situation like the sphere?
