The Forbidden Scroll
In the mysterious Land of the Watchful Beasts, a curious boy named Wally discovers a forbidden scroll that speaks of a world beyond the ever-watchful eyes of the Beasts. With courage as his guide, Wally embarks on a quest to uncover the truth and find freedom.
Wally, a ten-year-old explorer with brown hair and glasses, lived in the Land of the Watchful Beasts. The Beasts, enormous creatures with obsidian eyes, patrolled the streets, ensuring no one broke the rules. Wally was fascinated by the Beasts but knew to be cautious. One day, he discovered an ancient scroll in the forbidden section of the town library. The scroll told of a world without the Beasts' watchful eyes.
The scroll described a world of freedom, where people lived without fear. Wally's heart raced as he read about vibrant skies and boundless adventures. He knew he had to find this world, but the scroll was forbidden. If the Beasts found out, he could be in serious trouble. Wally decided to keep the scroll a secret and find a way to the world it described.
Wally's first obstacle was getting past the iron-wrought gate of the forbidden section. He waited until the library was empty and the Beasts were patrolling elsewhere. As he reached for the latch, a Beast's shadow loomed over him. Wally's heart pounded in his chest. He turned slowly to face the towering creature.
"What do you think you're doing?" The Beast's voice rumbled. "I... I was just looking for a book," Wally stammered. The Beast's eyes narrowed as it stepped closer. "Forbidden scrolls are not books, young one. You should not be here." Wally's knees trembled, but he couldn't give up now.
Wally managed to slip away from the Beast, but now he needed a plan. He decided to ask his grandmother for advice without revealing too much. "Nana, do you think there's a place where people are truly free?" he asked. His grandmother's eyes twinkled with a knowing smile. "Freedom is found within, Wally. But sometimes, we must be brave to find it."
Wally's next obstacle was finding a way out of the Land of the Watchful Beasts. The gates were heavily guarded, and the Beasts' eyes were everywhere. He needed a distraction. Wally enlisted the help of his friend, Lila, who was clever and quick. "We need to create a diversion," Wally whispered. "Leave it to me," Lila grinned.
Lila created a commotion in the town square, drawing the Beasts' attention. Wally seized the opportunity and slipped past the gates. But just as he thought he was free, another Beast spotted him. "Stop right there!" the Beast bellowed. Wally's heart sank. He had come so far, but now he was caught.
Wally felt like giving up. The dream of a free world seemed impossible to reach. The Beast's grip tightened on his shoulder. "Why do you seek what you cannot have?" the Beast asked. "I just want to be free," Wally whispered, tears in his eyes. The Beast's gaze softened, and it released him.
Wally's grandmother appeared, her eyes filled with determination. "Sometimes, courage means standing up even when you're afraid," she said. The Beast stepped back, allowing Wally to pass. "Go, find your freedom," the Beast said softly. Wally felt a surge of hope and determination.
With newfound courage, Wally ventured beyond the gates. He followed the path described in the scroll, through dense forests and across shimmering rivers. Finally, he reached a place where the sky was a kaleidoscope of colors, and the stars shone like diamonds. Wally knew he had found the world of freedom. He realized that true courage comes from within.

Can & Yaman
Evvel zaman içinde, kalbur saman içinde, develer tellal iken, pireler berber iken iki tane çocuk varmış. Birinin adı Can, diğerinin adı ise Yaman’mış. Bu iki arkadaş üç yıldır birlikte yaşıyormuş. Bir gün Yaman teleskop ile gökyüzünü incelerken Dünya’ya düşmekte olan bir meteor görmüş. Bunu hemen Can’a haber vermiş. Bunu duyunca Can: “Bunu durdurmanın tek bir yolu var” demiş. Yaman’ın gözü faltaşı gibi açılmış ve “meteoru nasıl durdurabiliriz?” diye sormuş. Can “dağların arkasındaki şatoda yaşayan bir büyücünün sahip olduğu bir asa gerek” demiş. Yaman ve Can evlerinden ayrılıp yola koyulmuşlar. Yollarına çok derin bir dere çıkmış. Dereden geçmek için bir tane köprü varmış. Ancak köprünün üstünde bir sürü kapan varmış. Can ve Yaman bir süre düşündükten sonra Yaman’ın aklına bir fikir gelmiş. Onun fikri yerdeki kayaları kapanın içine atarak geçmekmiş. Taşları atıp köprüden geçmişler. Bir süre yürüdükten sonra yol bitmiş ve karşılarına uçan ağaçlar çıkmış. Can ağaçların dallarındaki sarmaşıkları görmüş. Sarmaşıklardan tutunup atlayarak karşıya geçmişler. Ardından biraz daha gittikten sonra şatoya ulaşmışlar. O sırada Yaman meteorun çok yaklaştığını fark etmiş. Açık kapıdan şatoya girdikten sonra karşılarına yaşlı bir büyücü çıkmış. Yaman “Biz asayı almak için geldik” demiş. Büyücü ise sakalını çekerek “Size bir bilmece soracağım. Bu bilmeceyi bilirseniz asamı vereceğim” demiş. Büyücü sormuş: “İçimde denizler, şehirler ve ülkeler var ama ben denizler, şehirler veya ülkeler değilim. Ben neyim?” Hemen düşünmeye başlamışlar. Bir süre sonra hep bir ağızdan “harita” demişler. Büyücü cevabın doğru olduğunu söylemiş ve asayı Can’a vermiş. Can asayı yere vurmuş ama o kadar sert vurmuş ki çevresinde dalga dalga büyüyen halkalar oluşmuş. Ardından meteor gözden kaybolmuş. İki arkadaş birbirlerine mutlulukla sarılmışlar. Bu masal da burada bitmiş. Gökten üç tane elma düşmüş. Biri bu masalı hazırlayana, diğeri masalı dinleyene, sonuncusu ise masalı okuyanaymış. Bu masalın aynısı için kitap oluşturmak istiyorum
