The Map

On a gloomy, rainy day Kocian and Serena sat bored by the window of the tower, waiting for the rain to stop at last. Suddenly, they heard loud steps from outside and Cerbi stormed into the room, waving a sheet of paper in his hand.

"Look what I've found under the bed!" he yelled excitedly.

"What's that?" Kocian and Serena asked.

"A map that shows the route to a hidden room within the castle!" Cerbi said.

Kocian's eyes sparkled and he suggested the others to start looking for this room. The first point on the map was Cerbi's room, so they had to go there first to follow the route from there. After that, the second point was Kocian and Serena's room, and then they woke Hocus up when they followed the route, giggling, through his laboratory.

The old magician looked after them grumpily - he wasn't happy to be woken up just then, because he had dreamt he invented a machine from which tons of delicious muesli just pours out endlessly.

Scarlet also joined the jolly company in the corridor, and she was very happy that her friends came up with such a funny idea. She was very happy to fly along with them on the way of discovery.

Cerbi suddenly yelled: "I know what this secret room is!"

"What is it, tell us too!" the others begged him.

"The secret room is the kitchen!" Cerbi said.

"The kitchen?" his friends asked curiously.

But they were already inside the kitchen. The table was all set, and they could smell the delicious smell of a fresh cake.

"Surprise" a tiny voice cried out.

"Tiny, did you make the map?" Cerbi asked.

"Yes I did! I wanted you not to be bored while it rains, and I came up with this little mischief for you. But hurry, sit down, or the cake will get cold!"

The cheerful friends sat down and feasted happily, laughing at Tiny's trick.
