In a tiny village, there was a girl named Amy who loved books. One day, she found a very old book in the library called “The Magic Book of Wonders.”

When she opened the book, she was zapped into a place where she could change things just by turning the pages. There were talking animals and huge friendly giants. Amy could make anything she wanted, like rivers of chocolate and candy clouds in the sky.

Soon, Amy made lots of fun things, like a joking unicorn. The village became a happy place because of her magic. But after a while, people stopped being amazed by the special little things in life.

Amy saw the problem and went back to the book. She read a spell to make everything go back to normal. The magic went away, and people learned to enjoy simple things again.

Amy was now known as the girl who could make magic but taught others to love small joys in life. The book stayed in the library, and Amy knew that the world around us is already full of wonder.
