Like every evening after a long day of school Nura was playing outside of her room. She was full of ideas and imagination, Making an adventure out of every situation. She said: 'After years of training, I'm finally back, Today I'm a powerful ninja ready to attack!' Nura arrived in the living room and saw a mop, 'With this legendary sword, I will never be stopped!' Nura waved the mop as she arrived in the hall. 'Be careful, don't make a hole in the wall!', Said her mother, fearing her wild exhibition, But it was too late... She had broken the television! 'Go to sleep right now!', shouted her mother, And then Nura knew it was game over. She left the mop and went to her room, Thinking that Nura the Ninja would be back soon. 'Bedtime is so boring... I hate going to sleep! It's dark, It's quiet, and I'm sick of counting sheep! I wish my bed could talk and join me in my dreams, I'm sure my bed and I could be the greatest team!' Right then, Nura's bed started to shake, 'Wait!', screamed Nura, 'Is this an earthquake?' 'No, it's me! I'm Ted, and I'm a magical bed, But we're friends already, so please, call me Teddy.' The legs of the bed started to grow, And Teddy said: 'Nura, we have to go!'. 'Go where?', asked the girl with surprise, 'To the ocean, we must help our allies!' Nura and her bed went outside, They reached the sea and started to dive. 'Are you ready?', asked Teddy the bed, 'There are many adventures ahead!' The bed went underwater with the girl And the first thing Nura saw was a pearl. It was shiny and bright like good weather, And it landed in Nura's hands like a feather. 'You must protect The Pearl', said Teddy, 'Many have tried to steal it already! Your mission is risky, and dangerous too, But don't worry, I'm going to help you!' Nura then looked at the bed sheets with surprise, And a map appeared in front of her eyes. 'Now we know where we have to go', said Teddy, 'Look at the sheets and the map will always be ready.' 'I will protect The Pearl, I promise you that', Said Nura looking at the map. 'I'm underwater, and I'm talking with a magical bed... This is an amazing adventure I won't forget!' Nura looked under the pillow and found a sword. She said: 'Now I'm definitely no longer bored! I knew Nura the Ninja would come back into action, And this time there won't be any distractions!' 'Don't use it to attack, but to protect', Said the bed, 'That's how you'll gain the sea's respect. In this ocean there are creatures full of hate That want to take The Pearl just to dominate.' Right then, a huge black shark showed up And shouted: 'You have fallen into my trap!' He opened his mouth, ready to take a bite, and willing to steal The Pearl after the fight. At that moment, The Pearl began to glow, Casting a bright light, whiter than snow. The light blinded the shark, who no longer could see, And Nura and her bed managed to flee. 'I will protect The Pearl from any thief! Now it's time to go to the coral reef.' said Nura, looking at the map on the sheets. 'I wonder who we'll meet...' The coral reef was full of colour and fish. 'Having an aquarium like this is everyone's wish!', said Nura, but right then she felt a lot of rage when she saw an old turtle locked in a cage. 'Hi turtle!', said Nura, 'Who locked you in there?' 'It was the big black shark, I swear! He doesn't want anybody to find The Pearl, And he will lock you up too, little girl...' Nura took her sword and broke the lock. 'Thank you!', said the turtle, 'Now I can swim and walk! A girl and a magic bed... You two are really brave. Go away before the shark turns you into slaves!' 'We want to bring peace to the sea, If someone else is locked up, we will set them free. There's nothing to be afraid of', said Teddy the bed, 'Let's go, Nura! We have to stop this threat!' Nura and her bed continued their trip And soon they arrived at the sunken ship. Nura said: 'I think this was a pirate boat... It looks scarier when it doesn't float!' 'Nura, I think I see an octopus outside', said Teddy. 'Look, his tentacles are tied!' The bed and the girl approached the creature, Swimming around the boat's wild nature. The octopus said: 'I told you, I don't have The Pearl!' Wait... Who are you? A magical bed and a girl?' 'My name is Nura, and this is Teddy. We're going to set you free, be ready!' Nura used her sword to cut the rope, Giving the octopus freedom and hope. 'Thank you! The black shark tied me, He's looking for The Pearl all over the sea.' 'Don't worry, we will take care of him, Now that you're free, you should be able to swim', said Nura with a twinkle in her eyes, And then the octopus waved goodbye. Suddenly, Nura and Teddy heard a strange sound, And everything started to spin round and round. They had been caught in a whirlpool so deep That could have sunk an entire ship. Some time later, Nura opened her eyes And it didn't take her too long to realize She was in the deepest part of the sea Where everything is so dark you can't see. Just then, Nura heard a scary laugh very close. A voice shouted: 'Give me what I want the most!' 'The shark is here, Nura', said Teddy the bed, 'Stealing The Pearl will never go out of his head'. The shark quickly attacked Nura from behind, Taking advantage of the fact that she was blind. At the last moment, Nura turned around And with her sword knocked the shark down. 'We did it!', said Nura, 'We won the fight!' 'That's right!', said Teddy as The Pearl went bright. Suddenly, the whole place was covered by light, And the black colour of the darkness turned white. Nura woke up in her room like every day, The water and the fish had gone away. She thought: 'What if it was all a dream? In that case, this one was very extreme.' 'Hey Teddy, are you there?' But the bed didn't answer her. 'The map, the sword... there's nothing I can find, This adventure has just been a dream in my mind.' 'After being at sea, my room looks very small... This time bedtime wasn't boring at all.' Nura went to sleep again, dreaming of other lands, Without knowing The Pearl was shining in her hand.
