My Universe
In this thrilling adventure, Tinto, a 9-year-old space enthusiast, faces a challenge when his classmates doubt his honesty about discovering a new planet. With the guidance of his wise Grandpa, Tinto navigates through obstacles and learns the importance of honesty and persistence.
Tinto loved exploring the universe from his little bedroom observatory. One day, he spotted a twinkling dot that none of his books mentioned. Excitedly, he told his classmates about his discovery of a new planet. However, they didn't believe him, and some started calling him "Tall Tale Tinto." Tinto felt the weight of proving his discovery to everyone.
Tinto spent recess alone, staring at the ground, thinking about how to convince everyone. His best friend, Mira, approached him with a worried look. - Tinto, are you sure about the planet? she asked. - Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, Tinto replied confidently. - Then we need to prove it, Mira said, giving him a hopeful smile.
Tinto's first idea was to get a picture of the new planet with his telescope. But every time he tried, clouds covered the sky. Frustrated, Tinto kicked a pebble on the ground. - Why can't the sky just stay clear? he grumbled. - We'll figure something out, Mira encouraged him.
Determined not to give up, Tinto decided to borrow a better telescope from the school's science lab. However, the teacher, Mr. Franklin, told him it was locked for maintenance. - But I really need it, Tinto pleaded. - I'm sorry, Tinto, maybe next week, Mr. Franklin replied. Tinto felt his hope slipping away.
Feeling desperate, Tinto considered forgetting about the planet altogether. He sat on his bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering if his classmates were right. - Maybe it was just a star, Tinto sighed to himself. Giving up felt like his only option. But deep down, he knew he couldn't let it go.
Just as Tinto was about to give up, his Grandpa visited him. Grandpa listened patiently to Tinto's story, nodding thoughtfully. - It sounds like you have a lot of passion, Tinto, Grandpa said. - But what if I'm wrong? Tinto asked. - You won't know unless you try to prove it, Grandpa encouraged.
Inspired by Grandpa’s words, Tinto had a new idea. He decided to invite his classmates to a star-gazing night at his house. - If we all see it together, they'll have to believe me, he told Mira. She helped him make colorful invitations for everyone. Tinto felt hope bubbling inside him again.
On star-gazing night, Tinto set up his telescope in the backyard. His classmates arrived, some still skeptical. - I hope this works, Mira whispered. Tinto took a deep breath, pointing the telescope at the sky. He prayed for clear weather and a chance to prove himself.
To Tinto's delight, the sky was clear, and the mysterious planet was visible. He let each classmate take a look through the telescope. - Wow, I see it! one shouted. - It's real! another exclaimed. Tinto's heart soared as he realized his honesty was finally recognized.
Tinto's discovery was confirmed by the local observatory, and he was praised for his honesty and determination. - I knew you could do it, Mira said with a grin. - Thanks for believing in me, Tinto replied, feeling grateful. He learned that being honest and not giving up was his real treasure.
