The morning air is filled with energy as students chatter about tomorrow’s big event. Posters on the walls show rockets, bridges, and fantastical machines, inspiring creativity all around. Wide sits at the front, eyes sparkling with curiosity, gripping a bright blue notebook in anticipation.
"I wonder what I should build. Maybe a robot, or a tower as tall as the ceiling!" Wide muses, glancing at a friend across the aisle. The teacher, smiling at the room full of eager faces, writes “Build-It Day Tomorrow!” on the chalkboard in bold, looping letters.
Under the gentle shade, Wide flips through pages, doodling inventions—a flying bicycle, a musical bridge, a house with rainbow windows. Laughter and excited voices drift by as classmates brainstorm their own wild creations. A gentle breeze stirs a paper airplane, sending it gliding across the grass, as if hinting at endless possibilities.
"What if I make something that helps everyone? Like a friendship machine or a kindness kite," Wide wonders aloud, his pencil moving faster with every new idea. The sun begins to set, painting the sky with orange and lavender hues, promising a night full of dreams.

The room is alive with creativity as Wide snips, glues, and assembles pieces for tomorrow’s project. Posters of inventors and explorers look down from the walls, cheering him on in silent encouragement. Outside, crickets chirp, and the gentle hum of nighttime fills the air.
"I hope everyone likes what I make. Maybe it will make them smile," Wide says softly, tucking the nearly finished invention safely by his bed. As sleep comes, he dreams of Build-It Day, where anything is possible.
Children rush in, arms full of materials, their faces alight with excitement. Wide sets his project on the table—a Friendship Fountain, with spinning paper wheels and colorful ribbons that flutter at the slightest touch. The teacher moves from desk to desk, encouraging each student and marveling at the inventive spirit on display.
"Everyone, gather around and tell us about your creations!" the teacher calls out, her voice warm and inviting. As each child shares, the room fills with applause and bright smiles, celebrating every wild idea.

With a deep breath, Wide describes the Friendship Fountain, explaining how anyone can spin the wheels and watch the ribbons twirl, reminding everyone that kindness and joy can be shared. Classmates lean in, eyes wide, some reaching out to touch the ribbons and watch them dance.
"I made this so everyone could have a little happiness, especially on days that feel cloudy," Wide finishes, his voice steady and hopeful. The class bursts into cheers, and the teacher places a gold star next to his name on the board.
Wide is surrounded by friends, all eager to try the Friendship Fountain, their laughter ringing out like music. The teacher captures the moment in a photograph, everyone gathered around their marvelous inventions. As the day draws to a close, Wide feels a warm sense of pride, knowing he built something from his imagination—and shared it with the world.
