Lena and Robuś ride a magic rocket to a strange planet, where glowing trees, secret laughter, and a moving shadow wait in the dark.
Lena and her little brother Robuś loved the stars. Every night they pressed their noses to the window and searched the sky for the brightest ones.
One quiet evening, Lena leaned close and whispered, "What if we could fly into space?"
Before Robuś could answer, a colourful rocket popped up right in front of them, as if it had been waiting for that very question. Its door slid open with a gentle hiss. Lena helped Robuś fasten his helmet, and together they climbed inside. The seats felt soft as pillows, and the whole rocket smelled like fresh cookies.
"Prepare for launch!" said the little computer voice.
A tickly rumble ran under their feet. The lights blinked. Lena grabbed Robuś’s hand.
"Countdown! Three... two... one... start!"
The rocket whooshed upward faster than a sneeze. Clouds floated past the windows. Then, far ahead, Lena spotted a huge shining planet with purple trees and glowing stones scattered like dropped jewels.
Soon the rocket landed with a gentle bump. The door opened slowly.
Outside was a dark path leading into a forest of star-shaped trees. Somewhere ahead, something gave a soft laugh. Robuś pointed with one trembling finger. Among the leaves, something moved.
Lena held her breath. Who was waiting for them on the mysterious planet?
