Dad's Magical Get Well Adventure

Once upon a time, in a very blue house, lived Sammy, his sister, Sunny, and their dad, Big Tommy.

One chilly morning, Big Tommy had to go to the hospital. He needed a magic surgery, and Sammy was worried.

"Don't worry," said Dad, with a smile so wide. "I'll be home soon, feeling better inside!"

Sammy and Sunny decided to make a Get Well Soon card. They drew stars, hearts, and even a bright yellow moon.

They added lots of glitter, markers, and glue. Then they put in stickers, and a funny joke too!

"Let's do some magic to help Dad recover!" Sunny said with a wide-eyed shiver and shudder.

They grabbed their capes and their wizarding hats, looking more magical than fluffy white cats!

"Hocus pocus, and an ala-ka-zoom!" Chanted Sammy, making a magical boom.

As they waved their wands, with wishes so sweet, they imagined their Dad with dancing feet.

Sunny sent hugs on the wings of a dove. They sent him their care and oceans of love.
