00:00The magical book.
00:01Ali was a quiet schoolboy who carried a mysterious book in his bag.
00:03Every day he hid it from his strict teacher.
00:05Mrs. Khan, at night, under his blanket.
00:09He opened the book and whispered,
00:11Show me a new world.
00:13Instantly the pages glowed and filled with dragons.
00:20Castles, and talking animals that seemed real.
00:23One morning, Ali couldn't resist.
00:26He slipped the book under his desk during math class.
00:30Suddenly it trembled, shot up into the air,
00:32and burst into golden light.
00:35The classroom walls vanished,
00:37and all the students were pulled into a lush jungle
00:40straight from the pages.
00:41Monkeys swung overhead.
00:43A lion offered directions.
00:47And even Mrs. Khan gasped with wonder.
00:50At first she was angry.
00:51Then she laughed as a parrot,
00:53placed a flower crown on her head.
00:56Ali understood the book never wanted to be hidden.
00:58It wanted to be shared with everyone.
01:00From that day,
01:02story time became the class's favorite lesson.
01:04And Ali never hid the book again.
