The Waterfall

Once upon a time, there was a waterfall that never froze unless the Freezing Wand touched it. The Freezing Wand was a wand with a snowflake on one end. Whatever the snowflake touched turned into ice. The Freezing Wand was kept in the Infinity Tunnel, which was a cave that went on forever.

One winter day, a snow witch who believed everything should be ice went to the Infinity Tunnel and found the Freezing Wand. It was the first time anyone retrieved the Freezing Wand from the Infinity Tunnel. The snow witch froze the waterfall. Then, the queen and king of wizards and witches found out and banished the snow witch from their snowy kingdom.

Although the snow witch got her punishment, not everything was fixed! The waterfall was still frozen!

The king, queen, and snow witch didn’t realize it, but two girls named Claire and Lily were watching. They wanted to help because their village got most of their fish and water from the waterfall. They got closer.

Suddenly, Claire noticed something. “Lily! There’s something carved in the ice!” she exclaimed.

Lily came over. “To save the waterfall, find the map in the cave behind the waterfall. Follow the map and find the Sun Treasure. Bring it back here and open it in front of the waterfall,” she read.

“Let’s go! said Claire.

 They found the map and set off in hopes of saving the waterfall.

First, they passed a talking stone. It tried to scare them away, but they ignored it. Next, Claire and Lily went through a short, dark tunnel. Finally, they went up the mountains and got the Sun Treasure. To their surprise, it was very light. They took it to the waterfall and opened it.

A golden light came out of the Sun Treasure. The light unfroze the waterfall and destroyed the Freezing Wand! After that, they all lived happily ever after!
