Once upon a time a huge, grey cloud, a thick fog covered every corner of the planet!
Nothing could be seen! Neither the sea nor the flowers not even the colors...
Everything... was grey...
People were sad! They lost their smile!
They stopped meeting with their friends and the feeling of loneliness took over them and made them even sadder!

One day, four children, Hanna, Oliver, Pierre and Eleni , from four different parts of the planet got the same message: " Look in your garden to find a soft pouch..."




"Look in your garden for the pouch"
Τhe children went out in the garden and started groping around until they found the soft pouches. As it wasn't possible for them to see clearly in the fog, they immediately ran into their rooms to examine them...
They were four velvet, green pouches... They turned them upside down and suddenly... a golden object slipped from each one of them: a key, a small anchor, a compass and a wand.



All the children started studying their items. To their amazement, they found out a phrase inscribed on the back of each object saying"Search for the solution that will save the planet Earth".

"Search for the solution that will save the Earth"


So, they set off immediately from their homes following different directions in order to accomplish this great mission: To save the Earth!
They passed through rivers, mountains till they came to a glade... where suddenly the fog started to lift and they found themselves one opposite the other!









By looking at each other's pouch they understood that they had to work TOGETHER, to cooperate!
However, they needed a well-structured plan... They opened up their pouches and showed their contents to each other.
So, " what would their plan be?" " How would the Planet be saved?"









They started talking about how they would use these objects when suddenly a beam of light penetrated the fog and fell on Eleni's wand. The wand opened and a 3D map sprung up. At the same time, the compass started to spin in Hanna's hand showing the children the route they had to take.











The children realized that by following the map with the help of the compass the other objects would be activated so as to lead them to the solution of the problem.










The compass pointed north and all that was left was to follow the steps of the map. In the gray fog that spread everywhere they were led to places they had never seen before.











A different route. They saw rivers, they saw valleys, they saw high snowy peaks and sunny beaches. A glow appeared in their eyes and the hope for a beautiful world took root in their hearts.














"We'll be there soon!" Eleni shouted excitedly and held tightly the hand of Pierre, who was also the youngest in the group.
A lush forest of tall trees appeared in their last step.
"And now what?" Oliver asked





And now what?
They walked between the trunks in astonishment until they were found in a glade An old oak tree was in the center of the forest welcoming the children.
"Welcome my sweet kids! We have been waiting for you for a long time now..."

Welcome my sweet kids! We have been waiting for you for a long time now...










"In these places the fog has not yet reached the animals and the plants live here protected. But how much longer? You humans destroy everything on your way..now you are about to destroy yourselves!! "
"The hope of being saved is in your hands... because children are always the hope"









The hope of being saved is in your hands...because children are always the hope


These were the words of the wise oak tree and she spread her branches for the robins to rest.
The children were puzzled
"We must do something!" they thought and at the same time the anchor began to hover over their heads
We must do something!















Without second thoughts the children climbed up the anchor one by one and found themselves on a flying ship





















A magical journey was about to begin..
They would see the world that the older ones had made for them.
A gray world desperately asking for help. The team was ready for action
They look worried at the landscape beneath them as the magical ship ran faster than light.
















Look! What is that?
Oh my God!















Hanna, Oliver, Pierre and Eleni are amazed and worried because they see a large alien cloud enveloping the landscape.


Help me, please!







Pierre has a strange feeling and says:
"Oh poor us ... These strange clouds don't make me breathe !! .
Please, please help me!"





This black cloud will destroy the world!



Suddenly it was Pierre who shouted with joy: Hanna, Oliver, Eleni, see, see ... there is a big big mushroom in the clouds, I see it and you? "
"Yes we see them too, Hanna exclaimed surprised ... yes I see it too and it reminds me of those mushrooms that we find in the autumn when we go with my parents to the woods after the first rains ... Then my mother cooks them ... what a scent!"






Wonderful! it is like the mushrooms of our forest
J can smell the disches mom cooks!


Seeing the silhouette of a mushroom stand out in the sky was a sense of encouragement for the children, a push to also consider the damage to the environment and to "Created something that can be overcome over time.






If mushrooms are born in the sky ... ..
We can still dream of a better world.
Is it possible that a mushroom was born in the clouds? " Yes, possible, they all answered in chorus. "
"It is the first time that we have seen a mushroom in the clouds ... added all the other children in the chorus.
None of them felt from that moment the terrible sense of fear due to the disasters that man creates, with his thousand strategies, with oil, with the gases released into the atmosphere. With coal that contaminates the air.
Seeing the silhouette of a mushroom stand out in the sky was a sense of encouragement for the children, a push to also consider the damage to the environment and to "Created something that can be overcome over time.
Children know how to daydream, see the good even where there is none, imagine that after those gray clouds there must necessarily be the sun caressing the earth, making us forget many bad things.
The ship jerks .... It falls ... falls into a lake! Even the mushroom falls on the lake shore!






The boys get off. They approach the mushroom.
The key moves, points to the mushroom!
The children approach, open the door and ...







Oh my God!
Wonderful!!!





Inside the mushroom they found many objects: a HOOVER to suck up all the pollution on earth, a SPONGE to absorb dirty water from the seas and at last a big sac with a book inside.
The book was full of writings, drawings and words about peace, happyness, friendship and love. They were happy people’s stories, mixed up and erased by sadness.
FRIENDS
PEACE
LOVE
In one of the pages there was a poem........
The hope
If I had a big ship,
but no, even little one,
do you know what i would do? ...
The kids managed to put it back together and they figured out it was a magical spell, while Hanna started to read out loud, the book's pages started to turn faster and faster
