In a magic place called Miravia, there was a fun park with a special mirror maze. The maze was hard, but if you were brave, you could try it.

One day, a girl named Mia and her friend Ben went into the mirror maze. They saw their faces in all the mirrors and got mixed up. But they kept going because they were brave.

Then, Mia thought she found the way out, but ran into a mirror and got covered in funny strings. They looked like rainbow arms! Ben laughed, and they both learned that the maze had funny tricks.

In the end, they found the real way out when Ben saw it was just a mirror. They were happy and learned that even when things are hard, you can find the way and laugh. They told everyone to keep trying and have fun, just like in the maze.
