One Friday Mrs. King asked her class to write a story. “Use your imagination!” she cried, “You can write your story about anything.” Kenny looked worried. “A story?” he thought, “What could I possible have to write about? I don’t know any stories.” The bell rang and all the kids went home.
The next day, Kenny sat at his desk at home, thinking and thinking. The warm sun was shining through the windows, making him drowsy. And soon he fell fast asleep. As he slept, Kenny began to dream about fantastic things.

saving whole cities and curing diseases. Then he dreamed that he was in a UFO.
He was talking to strange but friendly space
creatures. Then he dreamed that he had become as small as a mouse by a bad
scientist. He had to find a way to stop the plot（阴谋）of
