A Journey to The Moon

In a small wooden shed in East Africa, Daniel and his friends dreamed of reaching the moon. They planned to build a rocket to take Daniel on this great adventure. " - Are you sure you want to go?" Basu asked with wide eyes. " - Of course!" Daniel replied, filled with excitement. But there was a big problem: they had no idea how to make a rocket fly.

The first obstacle appeared when they tried to find materials for the rocket. " - We need a really strong tank," Mussie pointed out. " - I think my dad has an old one," Ermias suggested. But when they reached Ermias' house, the tank was too rusted and fragile. " - This won't work," Daniel sighed, feeling a bit discouraged.

Despite the setback, the group refused to give up. They decided to use an old bicycle frame as the rocket's base. " - It looks a bit wobbly," Eyob observed. As they worked, rain clouds gathered overhead. " - Oh no, it's going to rain!" Basu exclaimed. The rain poured down, soaking their work and dampening their spirits.

With the rain ruining their progress, Daniel felt his courage waver. " - Maybe it’s not meant to be," he said softly. His friends tried to cheer him up but the failures weighed heavily on him. " - We can try again tomorrow," Mussie suggested, though he too seemed unsure. Daniel sat quietly, considering giving up his moon adventure.

The next day, Daniel’s mother noticed his glum expression. " - What's wrong, my moon explorer?" she asked gently. Daniel explained their failed attempts. " - Have you tried using the old barrel in the backyard?" she suggested with a wink. Her idea sparked new hope in Daniel. " - That just might work!" he exclaimed, feeling inspired.

With renewed determination, Daniel and his friends used the barrel for their rocket. " - Let's do this!" Daniel cheered as they worked together. This time, everything seemed to fit perfectly. " - I think it's ready!" Ermias said excitedly. As the rocket stood tall, Daniel felt a surge of courage and pride. Their dream was now within reach.
