Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tom who loved airplanes. He loved to watch them fly in the sky and dreamed of one day flying one himself.

One day, his mother took him to a toy store, where she bought him a bright red toy plane. Tom was so excited and couldn’t wait to play with it.

When they got home, Tom took the plane and flew it around his bedroom. He pretended it was a real plane and made roaring noises as it zoomed around the room.

The next day, Tom’s mother surprised him with a trip to the park. Tom took his new plane with him and when he got there, he flew it around the park. But then something magical happened!

The plane started to fly higher and higher, until it was out of sight. Tom was so excited and couldn’t believe his eyes.

Tom eventually caught up with the plane and was amazed to see that it had grown bigger and was now a real plane! He could now fly around the park in his very own airplane.

Tom was so happy and amazed at the magic of his toy plane. From that day on, Tom was always seen flying around the park in his very own airplane.

The end.
