BR 1-15: The Shiny Key

The children get the blame when some jewellery is stolen.

I will introduce this story. One day, Chip lost the magic key. Nadim wanted a magic adventure, so he helped Chip to look. They looked in the armchair and then, they found lots of things. They found the magic key, but it was stuck to a toffee. Nadim cleaned it and he made it very shiny. The shiny magic key began to glow. The magic took them into a new adventure. They were in a wood. And they found a shiny ring. They thought that somebody must have dropped it. Then, the soldiers saw the ring. They thotwght that the children stolen the ring, so grabbed the children. The soldiers took them to the prince, and said that the children are thieves. And they saw the shiny magic key, thoght that the children must have locked some stolen things away. Then, a magpie flew down and took the mgagic key. The magpie is flew to the woods. Everyone ran after the magpie. The magpie flew to a tree. Everyone looked in the nest that was full of shiny things. The soldiers understanded that the children were not thieves. Everyone was pleased. The prince gave the children a medal.
