Wojtek’s Dream

Wojtek, dressed in a cardboard helmet and holding a wooden sword, sat in his room, surrounded by his favorite toys. His imagination was powerful, and in its world, every adventure was possible. That day, he imagined he was a brave knight tasked with rescuing his friends from a sinister dragon.

The story begins in a land called the Valley of Green Hills, where Wojtek and his friends, a group of neighborhood children, were playing in the open space. Suddenly, a giant dragon appeared over the valley, emitting a terrifying roar and breathing fire. Wojtek’s friends, terrified, were trapped on a hill, surrounded by flames. Without hesitation, Wojtek decided to save them. He put on his cardboard helmet, grabbed his wooden sword, and set out to the rescue. Along the way, he met an old sage who gave him a magical shield that reflected fire. Thanks to it, Wojtek could safely pass through the flames and reach his friends. When he stood face to face with the dragon, Wojtek felt no fear. His courage and determination were stronger than anything else. With great agility, he dodged the flames breathed by the dragon, while trying to find a way to defeat the beast. In the climactic moment of the duel, Wojtek used his sword to reflect a beam of sunlight into the dragon’s eyes, blinding it momentarily. During this time, he quickly led his friends to a safe shelter. When everyone was safe, Wojtek used the last gift from the sage — a magical horn whose sound had the power to calm wild beasts. When Wojtek blew the horn, the dragon calmed down and disappeared into the clouds. Wojtek’s friends were immensely grateful to him and declared him their hero.

Thus ended another adventure of Wojtek, who returned to his room, full of new ideas for more fantastic adventures.

Through this episode, children learn that dreams can be an inspiration to act and develop their skills.
