In a far-off land, there is a lost city. Max sets out to find it. He packs his bag
with food and water. He puts on his boots and sets off.

Max finally gets to a mysterious cave. He finds a glowing mushroom in the
cave. It lights up the cave. Suddenly, a giant spider drops down. It blocks
his path. Max remembers that spiders are afraid of cups. He throws his cup
at the giant spider. It jumps and runs away.

Max finds the lost city. He finds a magical gem that can grant wishes. He
makes a wish to find a way back home. The gem takes him back to his
home.

Max wakes up in bed. ‘What happened?’ thinks Max. Max gets up, and he
finds a mushroom in his pocket. He will never forget the lost city and its
magic.
