Julio no Mundo da Lua
Julio, a brilliant ten-year-old boy from Brazil, dreams of becoming an astronaut and visiting the moon. When his school announces a science fair with a grand prize of a visit to NASA, Julio sees it as the perfect opportunity to achieve his dream. However, his journey is fraught with obstacles, and at one point, Julio considers giving up. But with courage and determination, he finds a way to overcome the challenges and finally succeeds in his quest.
Julio always dreamed of being an astronaut and visiting the moon. One day, his teacher announced a science fair with an exciting prize—the winner would visit NASA! Julio's eyes lit up with excitement. He decided to build a rocket using scrap materials. But there was one problem; he had no idea how to make it fly.
Julio gathered all the scrap materials he could find. He worked in the garage, trying to assemble a rocket. But nothing seemed to fit right. His friend, Maria, came over to help. - Are you sure this will work? Maria asked, looking at the pile of parts. - I have to make it work, Julio replied determinedly.
Julio tried connecting wires and taping parts together, but the rocket fell apart. He felt frustrated and almost cried. Just then, his mother called him for dinner. - Julio, you've been in there all day, she said. - I can't stop now, Mom! Julio shouted back.
The next day, Julio faced another obstacle. It started raining heavily. He couldn't work on his rocket outside. He sighed and sat by the window, watching the rain. He felt like giving up. - Maybe this is a sign, he thought aloud.
Julio decided to ask his science teacher for advice. - Don't give up, Julio, his teacher encouraged. - Sometimes, the answer is right in front of you. Inspired by his teacher's words, Julio looked closely at his materials. Suddenly, he had an idea!
Using his newfound idea, Julio worked tirelessly on his rocket. He made adjustments and tested it repeatedly. Finally, the rocket stood ready for a test flight. - This is it, Julio whispered to himself. He pressed the launch button, hoping for the best.
To his amazement, the rocket lifted off the ground. Julio couldn't believe it—it worked! As the rocket soared higher, he realized he was actually going to the moon. - I'm really doing it! he exclaimed. The journey was real, and Julio was thrilled.
On the moon, Julio encountered an unexpected challenge. He needed fuel to return home. As he explored, he stepped on something soft. - Who's tickling me? a voice giggled. Julio jumped back in surprise and saw a giant alien!
Julio explained his problem to the alien. - I need fuel to get back home, Julio said. The alien chuckled and gave his rocket a gentle push. Miraculously, it started working again! - Thank you! Julio shouted as he boarded the rocket.
Julio returned just in time for the science fair. His rocket was a bit damaged but still impressive. When he shared his adventure, everyone laughed. - The moon has aliens? they teased. But Julio didn't mind. He knew he had the courage to reach beyond the stars.
