n year 2195, a boy called Jack found a magic book in the library. When Jack open the magic
book, called ‘Earth?’, a strong wind pulled him into the magic book. It brought Jack to
another planet. It was very special. It was a mirror image of Earth, called ‘R-Earth’.
On ‘R-Earth’, Jack heard something. ‘Do you think the king will really start a war
Earth?’ asked one of the men. And the other man answered, ‘Yes, I think so!’ After hearing their
conversation, Jack thought ‘Oh! I must stop them!’ Jack saw that everything on R-World was in
block shapes. The rocks, the trees and even the people were blocks.
In the next days, the block people found that Jack was so weird because he wasn’t square, so
they told King Matthew.
He was the king here because he won the ‘King Sit’ competition. This competition is used to
find out who could be the king. This can also be a test because you need to use your strength and
brain to win this competition. Of course, it can take your life away because you have to go across
a river with crocodile in it.
Then, King Matthew told the solders to catch Jack. Whoever caught Jack for the king could
get one billion dollars. Because of the reward, everybody was trying to catch Jack. He was soon
caught and he went into the jail for no reason.
While in the jail, Jack was really sad. He thought, ‘Why do I have to go to the jail. I didn’t do
anything bad!’
After some more days, Jack went back to Earth magically. He landed on the Gobi Dessert. The
king noticed that Jack had escaped, so he used a machine to put himself and his soldiers on Earth
to fight.
All of a sudden, Jack saw the block men from R-Earth. All of them were shocked because they
had already used a machine to confirm that there was no one in the Gobi Dessert.
The soldiers put up their guns and pointed to Jack. Fortunately, he wasn’t scared of them. He
was really courageous and walked in front of the king of R-Earth. Jack asked, ‘Why do you want
to fight with the people on Earth?’ ‘Just for fun, and also our planet’s block people would like to
know more about another planet so we had an idea to have a fight,’ said the king. ‘Wars make it
worse, and also will you make friends with us by fighting?’ asked Jack. It looked as if the king
had just woken up. No longer, Matthew, the king, came up with a great idea ‘We can make a day
called ‘E and R-E day’. It means Earth people and R-Earth people meeting for a day. On that day,
we can chat with others to know each other. R-Earth and Earth will have a good relationship. So
this is the main idea.’ King Matthew said.
Years later, the Gobi Desert became very important and famous on Earth because block people
will go there to Earth people. And Jack became a famous person too!
