Once upon a time, there was a beautiful peninsula surrounded by a gorgeous strait. The aroma of fresh flowers and delicious food filled the air. The people of the peninsula had a rich culture and enjoyed many lively festivals. One day, a mischievous little boy named Max decided to explore the strait and all its secrets. He paddled his boat through the channel and found himself in the opposite hemisphere. It was a strange and exciting world, with strange creatures and breathtaking sights. But the current was strong and Max struggled to row back to his peninsula. Suddenly, a friendly dolphin appeared and offered to help him home. With the dolphin’s guidance, Max safely returned to his peninsula, where he shared his adventures with all his friends. The end.
