Once upon a time, there were two siblings named Max and Lily. Max was always preoccupied with his theories and hypotheses about the world. One day, he stumbled upon an obsidian talisman that he was very intrigued by. From his perspective, it had strange powers. So, he tested his hypothesis that the talisman could grant wishes. To his surprise, every time he wished for something, it actually came true! Lily, being a sibling, wanted in on the fun and wished for lots of ice cream. Max, being more scientific, wished to understand the perspective of animals. Suddenly, they both found themselves transformed into their pets, a cat and a dog. They spent the whole day seeing the world from a different translucent perspective and had lots of fun. They learned that sometimes, the best way to understand the world is to see it from someone else's point of view. The end.
