Welcome, little ones, gather 'round,
For a tale of wonder to astound!
We'll journey to a city-state,
Where history and magic await.

The site we visit is sacred ground,
With a steeplechase race that astounds.
But danger lurks, so don't be late,
For a terrorist plot may seal our fate.

A truce has been called, but still we fear,
That danger's near, so stay quite near.
But fear not, young ones, for help is nigh,
And we'll soon see a spectacular sky.

In the city-state, we'll take a break,
And visit a sauna for our bodies' sake.
But beware of steroids, which are not okay,
For healthy living every day.

We'll learn of history, both bright and bleak,
Of Nazis who sought to make us weak.
But we'll stand tall, with hope and might,
And keep the darkness far from sight.

As spectators, we'll cheer and shout,
For the steeplechase is what it's all about!
So come along, dear little ones,
For our adventure has only just begun.
