The Mysterious Door on the Last Floor - Srusthi Jain- Std 4 - 7

Once upon a time, I was in class fourth. There was a mysterious door in my school. When I was in class third, all my friends said that there was a mysterious door on the last floor. At first, I did not trust them. But after a few days, I went to the last floor and, to my surprise, there was a mysterious door. On the door, a board was stuck. "Do Not Enter" was written on the board in big, bold letters. I became curious and thought of opening the door to see what was inside. Once, I went during recess to open the door, but I got caught by a teacher. One day, I got a chance to open the mysterious door. I opened the door and saw a box with strange figures. I opened the box, and a small blue alien with green eyes came out of the box. The alien looked sad. I asked it what was the matter. "Hello, I am Zaboo from planet Mars.

Many years ago, my spaceship crashed in your school. I was searching for my spaceship, but the school principal saw me and locked me in this room. I need a special energy crystal that had fallen somewhere inside the school." I agreed to help and followed Zaboo through secret passages behind the walls and even under the school gym. After solving puzzles, we finally found the glowing crystal in the school garden’s tree. When I was going to get the crystal, Zaboo was very happy and said, "I will make any wish of yours come true because you helped me find the crystal." I said, "I want to travel in space and also I want to go to the moon." He immediately replied, "Yes, I will fulfill your wish." Zaboo said, "Come and sit on my back." Zaboo travelled with me through space and to the moon. I enjoyed the journey very much. After travelling, Zaboo brought me back to the secret room. He took the tiny crystal and placed it in a tiny computer. Zaboo said, "Thank you for finding the crystal.

Now it's time for me to go home." He disappeared through the wall. I came out of the door and went home. I told my mother everything about the mysterious door. My mother was surprised to hear about this exciting adventure. I told my friends and teachers too. Nobody believed me except my mother. But I know the truth. I enjoyed the secret door very much. I learnt a lesson — that we should always keep curiosity, courage, and kindness. It can lead to incredible adventures. Always be brave enough to explore the unknown and kind enough to help others – you never know where it might take you. From that day onwards, I always solved mysteries and puzzles with great curiosity, courage, and kindness. That day was the best day of my life. I will never forget it.
