In a small town, there was a magical museum. In the daytime, it looked normal, but at night, everything inside came to life!

One night, Lily, a girl who loved magic, snuck in. At midnight, a talking stuffed rabbit showed her a secret door and told her to follow it.

Inside a secret room, the rabbit gave Lily a golden key to unlock a cabinet. Inside the cabinet was a magical wand that could make dreams come true.

Lily waved the wand, and blue butterflies appeared everywhere, messing up the museum. She used the wand to fix everything and put the butterflies back.

When everything was normal again, Lily was outside holding the wand. She learned that magic can be fun but you have to be careful with it. Lily wanted to use her magic to make people happy.
