One sunny morning, Saul sat at his desk, squinting at the chalkboard through his eyeglasses. Even though math was interesting, his eyelids grew heavy. With a quiet yawn, he drifted into a dream.
In his dream, Saul blinked open his eyes to find himself atop a towering skyscraper. He was draped in a red and blue Spiderman costume, feeling braver than ever.
Saul looked at his hands, covered in sleek gloves with a web design. He clenched his fists, feeling a new-found strength—and suddenly, he shot a web from his palm!
He swung from building to building, the city a blur below. His heart pounded with excitement as the wind whooshed past his masked face.
As Spiderman, Saul noticed a kitten stranded on a window ledge. Without a thought, he swung down and scooped the furry friend to safety.
The kitten nuzzled against Saul, purring. Saul felt proud but knew there was no time to waste. More adventures awaited him in the bustling city.
Suddenly, a siren wailed. A bank down the street was being robbed! Saul's Spiderman senses tingled. It was time to help.
Saul crept closer, using his web to silence his movements. The robbers didn't notice the hero inching toward them, concealed by his stealth.
With a swift move, Saul disarmed the robbers with his webs. Securely webbed to the wall, they couldn’t escape. Saul winked at the grateful bank staff.
The dream adventure continued. Saul leaped between skyscrapers, helping and saving citizens with remarkable agility and speed.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Saul’s dream took him to the peak of the tallest building. He looked out at the peaceful city, feeling content.
And just like that, the bell rang. Saul's eyes fluttered open. He was back in his classroom, with his teacher smiling at him. It was only a dream... or was it?
