A universe within a planet. A planet within a world. A world with a place like no other, waiting to be discovered by two ordinary people on an unordinary adventure. A community was suffering from an overruling power plant. A garden was placed in the centre of that friendly neighbourhood. That garden, with a range of fruits and colourful flowers, was the best thing in the community. But the garden was dying because of toxic fumes in the atmosphere. But once that place like no other is discovered by the ordinary people all hopes could be lifted.
"Pass me the shovel will you" says Levi. "Why do you need it?" says Ava in an extremely bored voice. "I need to kill these weeds". "I don't think weeding the garden will help it from dying" she says, while trying to get dirt out of her pretty pink painted nails. "Come on, you said you'll help me with the garden". "I said that because I'm your best friend". "But, years ago my grandfather founded this garden. It's up to me to save it. So please pass the shovel". Ava passes the shovel and the two of them continue digging. Levi digs to the roots of the weeds, until clink, his shovel collides with something. "What was that?" says Ava. "I don't know, but here". Levi hands Ava his shovel. "You can help me dig". Ava digs with the shovel, whilst Levi digs with his hands. They both pull out a large silver key. "I wonder what it's for?" says Levi dreamily. "Hey, there are letters carved onto the key" says Ava. Indeed there were letters carved onto the key saying, 'big maple'. "I know what that means". Levi grabs Ava's hand and they walk to the biggest maple tree in the community.
Ava leans against the tree. Her hand accidently flicked a lever. They start spinning around recklessly and then quickly stop. They are in a land like no other, occupied with hundreds of plants and animals. A bird swoops down and lands on Levi's shoulder. "We need you urgently" says a voice. "Who said that?" says Ava in a shaky voice. "Me, silly" says the bird on Levi's shoulder. "And I need you both, no questions, just follow". They both follow the bird which leads them into a garden identical to the community garden, except there was no power plant nearby. "It's all yours" says the bird. "It's great having a new garden but the power plants are still killing the community" says Ava. "You don't need to worry about the power plants anymore. Go tell the community about the new garden while I take care of the power plants". They both go back through the tree to tell everyone. When they got out the wind was roaring. Once the wind stopped, the power plants had disappeared. The community continued to thrive and took care of their precious new land.
