Ausob
lived a girl named Lila. She loved making things. She made strange toys, painted wild pictures, and mixed all kinds of materials together. People in the village called her inventions "hotchpotches" because they were full of different parts and colors.
One day, Lila was working on her biggest hotchpotch ever. She used old clock pieces, shiny buttons, broken crayons, feathers, and even a spoon. She had no idea what it would do, but she liked how it looked. It was tall and colorful, with a big spinning top and a glowing center.
The Time Machine and the Colorful Snake
One sunny afternoon, a curious boy named Alex was playing in his grandpa's attic. He was ten years old and loved exploring. While digging through old boxes, he found something strange—a metal box with buttons and lights. On top, there was a label: TIME MACHINE—DO NOT TOUCH.
