Once upon a time, there was a very special team called the History Rewriters. They were not just regular friends. They were time travelers! Their job was to go back in time and fix small problems to make the world a happier place.
There were three friends in the team. First, there was Wei. Wei was very smart and wore big blue glasses. Then there was Carlos.
Carlos was very strong and loved to wear his favorite red hat. Last, there was Nia. Nia was very kind and had the fastest running shoes in the world. They had a secret hiding spot.
It was a shiny room full of blinking lights. In the middle of the room was their time machine. It looked like a giant silver bubble. One day, the bubble started to blink.
Beep! Beep! Beep! 'Oh look!
'said Wei. 'The history screen is glowing! 'The friends ran to the screen. Can you run fast like Nia?
Zoom! On the screen, they saw a picture from long ago. It was a little princess in a tall castle. But the princess was not smiling.
She was crying. Big tears rolled down her cheeks. Splash! Splash!
'She looks so sad,'said Nia gently. 'The history book says she stayed in her tower all day because she wanted to fly like a bird, but she did not know how,'said Wei. 'We must help her! 'said Carlos.
He clapped his hands together. Clap! 'To the time machine! 'shouted Wei.
The three friends jumped inside the silver bubble. Wei pressed a big red button. Whoosh! The machine spun around.
Up, up, up! And down, down, down! Colors swirled everywhere. Red!
Blue! Green! Then, silence.
The bubble landed with a soft bump. Thump! They opened the door. They were in a field of soft green grass.
The sky was bright blue. 'Look at the castle,'said Carlos. It had tall towers and pointy roofs. The three friends walked to the castle gate.
Creak, creak went the gate. Inside the garden, they saw the princess. She was sitting on a stone bench. She looked very lonely.
'Hello there! 'said Wei. The princess looked up. 'Oh,'she sniffled.
'I am just a princess who wants to fly. 'Carlos smiled big. 'We can help you fly! 'he said.
'But we must work together. ''How? 'asked the princess. Wei looked around.
He saw some sticks and some paper. 'We can build a kite! 'said Wei. 'A kite can fly high in the sky for you.
''Yay! 'said the princess. She jumped up. Boing!
So, the History Rewriters got to work. This was a job for a team. Carlos used his strong muscles to find big, straight sticks. He carried them all at once.
Heavy, heavy, heavy! Nia used her fast feet to find pretty cloth. She ran here and ran there. Zip, zip, zip!
She found a shiny red cloth and a shiny yellow cloth. Wei used his smart brain to tie the sticks together. He used a very long string. Loop, loop, tie!
'I need help holding the sticks,'said Wei. 'I will help! 'said Carlos. He held the sticks steady.
'I need help tying the cloth,'said Wei. 'I will help! 'said Nia. She held the cloth tight.
They worked together. Pull and tug. Pull and tug. 'Can you say pull and tug with us?
'asked Wei. The princess helped too. She held the string. Finally, the kite was ready.
It was beautiful. It looked like a red and yellow diamond. 'Now we need wind,'said Nia. She looked at the trees.
The leaves were dancing. Whoosh! Whoosh! 'The wind is here!
'shouted Carlos. 'Are you ready, Princess? ''Yes! 'said the princess.
She was excited now. Her eyes were wide open. 'Hold the string tight,'said Wei. 'Carlos, you lift the kite.
Nia, you count. One... two... three...
Go! 'Carlos lifted the kite up. Up, up! The princess ran.
Run, run, run! The wind caught the kite. Whoosh! The kite pulled the string.
The princess held on tight. The kite went higher. And higher. And higher!
It danced in the blue sky. 'I am flying! 'yelled the princess. 'I am flying!
'She laughed a happy laugh. Hee hee hee! The History Rewriters watched. They smiled at each other.
They did it together. The princess was not sad anymore. She was happy. 'Thank you, friends,'she said.
'You are the best team ever. ''It was our pleasure,'said Wei. 'Time to go home! 'said Nia.
They waved goodbye. Wave, wave, wave! They hopped back in their silver bubble. Whoosh!
Zoom! Beep! They were back in their secret room. The history screen changed.
Now it showed the princess laughing and flying her kite. 'We did a good job,'said Carlos. 'We sure did,'said Nia. 'Together, we can do anything,'said Wei.
And that is the story of how the History Rewriters fixed history with teamwork. The end.
