#32 world of MAGIC

A couple of weeks ago I went to visit my grandma. When she asked me to get something upstairs, I saw this wonderful chair. It was so beautiful, and I was wondering. Why I never had seen it before.

But I had to search for what grandma needed, and that wasn’t easy… There were boxes everywhere. How did she suddenly get all this stuff? Where did it come from???

After searching half an hour and shouting downstairs for grandma to help me with no response, I couldn't resist to take a rest in the mysterious chair. The chair was beautiful in a strange way. The blue color didn't match at all in my grandma’s living. And besides, that it was way to modern for my grandma.

It looked so extremely comfortable, and it was even more comfortable than it looked. I sat down for a second and realized that if I had a chair like this, I would never just stock it up someplace I would rarely come myself. I would sit in this chair like forever, and even so I would put it in my living room.

But then something happened. As I sat in the chair all the boxes started to fly around, they lifted themselves and I was just shocked. It was so magical that I thought this must be a dream. But as I tried to stand up I couldn’t. It felt as if someone had glued my legs to the chair.

Don’t panic, don’t panic. I tried to calm myself down before the panic really started to get to me. The boxes were still flying around and another strange thing happend. I could see through the boxes! I could literally see what was stored in each box! So I found where I was looking for and when I looked at it and thought, that’s what I need, it flew directly into my hand.

The panic became a shock, what had just happened? How could this be possible? And then everything got back in their places on the ground. I could stand up again and it looked like there never happened anything strange. I was flabbergasted!

I went downstairs and immediately asked grandma what just happened upstairs.

And she only smiled and said, you will know when it’s yours…
