for your 3rd Grader.
Once upon a time, in the bustling city of Stellaris, Halloween festivities were in full swing. Children in costumes excitedly knocked on doors for sweet treats. Among the crowd was a magical and powerful baby girl named Aset, guided by her steadfast protector and spirit guide, Duck.
At the end of the street, lived a lady named Ms. Trotter. Known as the Candy Lady of Stellaris, she was loved by all children. Aset and Duck, however, felt something was off about her.
One afternoon, as Aset and Duck played in the park, they overheard Ms. Trotter speaking to herself. 'These candies will be the end of the pesky bugs ruining my garden.'
'Did she just say what I think she said?' Duck whispered to Aset. They looked at each other, shock and surprise mirrored in their eyes. 'We need to find out more', Aset said with determination.
The next day, Aset and Duck watched as the children turned green and small, hopping away after eating Ms. Trotter’s candy. 'She's turning them into frogs!' gasped Aset.
Aset and Duck knew they had to act fast. 'We have to stop her,' said Aset, clenching her tiny fists. 'But how?' Duck wondered, furrowing his brow.
After much thought, Aset had a plan. She would use her magical powers to change Ms. Trotter’s candy. 'We just have to replace her candy with these non-magical ones I've made.'
The plan was set in motion. Duck created a distraction, while Aset snuck into Ms. Trotter's house. But as Aset was about to switch the candies, Ms. Trotter walked in.
