Once upon a time there was a boy named Joy. One day Joy and his sister, Ginni had to go a birthday party, but Ginni started crying. She wanted the birthday present for herself!!
Joy explained patiently to Ginni that the gift is meant for the birthday boy. When her birthday will come, she’ll get lots of gifts too! Ginni understood and stopped crying. Mom was so proud of her little boy. Someone else was proud too---
The Blue Fairy!!
The Blue Fairy decided to reward Joy. She came in his dreams the next day and said, “Joy, you were a good brother yesterday. So I’m giving you a real hot air balloon. It can carry any number of people; it can carry any weight and take you wherever you ask. But remember you can use it only thrice.”
“Wow!! I’ve never sat in a hot air balloon before!” exclaimed Joy, as he woke up. He called his friend, Sid, and both of them ran towards the park. There they saw a big balloon. They called everybody they knew. When every person sat in the balloon’s basket, it flew up. It flew over the mountains and the rivers. It was fun, but after some time their friends wanted to get back to the ground. Even though Joy and Sid wanted to fly more, they had to land because of their friends
So they decided to take a ride all by themselves later. That night, they sneaked out of their homes and rode the balloon. They had a great time counting stars, collecting clouds, and scaring little birds. When they looked down at dawn, they could only see a huge river, unbelievably wide, surrounded on both sides by thick green rainforests.
“Where can we be?” wondered Sid.
“It must be Amazon, the greatest river in the world that carries more water than any other river.” replied Joy. “So we’re in South America. Magical Hot air balloon, take us home”.
And they reached home in no time.
Then one day Joy heard a disturbing news: An asteroid from outer space was about to hit Earth. Many people will die, but nobody can do anything.
But Joy was not helpless. He ran out to the park and tied a piece of ground to the hot air balloon. Then he said to the balloon, “Magical Hot Air Balloon, The Fairy told me you can lift any weight. So please lift the whole Earth from its orbit for a little time till the Asteroid passes away, and then put it back safely”
Amazingly, the Balloon was able to lift the Earth up. The Asteroid zoomed away without ever touching the Earth. Everybody was safe and the magical hot air balloon disappeared.
