Read together

Once upon a time, there was a clumsy wizard named Zoltar who loved to make fireworks displays. One day, he decided to create the most spectacular show ever seen, using pyrotechnics and gunpowder. He made lift charges, bursting charges, and even added a salute to the mix.
But things didn't go as planned. The lift charge exploded prematurely, launching a mortar into the air that landed on Zoltar's head. The chemical reaction caused a chain reaction of fireworks, creating a colorful burst that lit up the sky.
Everyone cheered and applauded, and Zoltar realized that sometimes, even mistakes can lead to something spectacular.
