This story is about a student named Sam. He liked books, and he always got A+ grades.One day, he found a suspicious book on his shelf. He had never seen it before, and he didn’t have a book he had not read. Curious, he started reading. It was about ancient myths, which Sam wasn’t interested in. However, one page caught his attention.
“There is a secret cave. Inside, there is a special box. If you open it, you will have superpowers.”
Excited, Sam began searching through other books to find more clues or, if he was lucky, a map that would lead to the mysterious cave. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a single map in any book, not even in the library. Disappointed and hopeless, he eventually gave up and forgot about the book.
Years passed without Sam thinking about the cave or the mysterious book.One day, he went on a road trip. While driving, he reached a dead end. Nearby, he noticed a narrow, bumpy path beside the road. He decided to take it. The path was not meant for cars, it was muddy and rocky and soon, Sam’s car got stuck in a ditch.

With no way to get the car out, Sam left it and started walking, searching for food and shelter. Then, he found a cave and went inside. In the middle of the dark cave was a glowing golden box. Sam stopped in his tracks. Suddenly, he remembered the book from long ago. He eagerly opened the box.
Inside, he found a carrot shaped like a sword, an old book, and a laser gun. Sam stared at the strange items, feeling confused and a bit disappointed. This is it? he thought. Starving and unsure what else to do, he took a bite from the carrot.
Suddenly, a surge of energy began coursing through his body. He felt powerful! He remembered that the box was supposed to give superpowers. He opened the old book, trying to learn more about his powers—but before he could finish reading, the book transformed into armor.
“Wow! This is amazing!” Sam exclaimed.
He picked up the sword-shaped carrot, the armor, and the laser gun, ready to test his new powers. But first, he had to find his way home.
When he returned to where his car had been, it was gone along with his belongings. Sam panicked. Was he going to be stuck here forever?
Oh right, I have superpowers, he remembered.
He had read in the book before it transformed into armor that he could fly but only for a limited time, as the power needed to recharge. Without wasting time, he jumped as high as he could. Instantly, he soared through the sky. Not only could he fly, but he also had super speed! He flew faster than anything else in the sky.
After flying for four hours, his powers started to fade, and he began plummeting toward the ground.
“AAArrrrrgh!” Sam screamed.
Thankfully, he landed in a bush that cushioned his fall. From there, he could already see his town in the distance.
While his flight power was recharging, he used his super speed. He ran faster than a bullet until he finally arrived home. He couldn’t wait to tell everyone what had happened.
