    Once upon a time, in a small town lived a young boy named Timmy. One day, he stumbled upon a peculiar object, a broom, in the attic of his old house. It looked ordinary but had a certain aura of mystery around it.

    The broom was unlike anything Timmy had ever seen. It was made of a strange kind of wood and the handle was inlaid with peculiar symbols. He felt a strange warmth when he touched it.

    To understand the broom's second secret, the wizard advised Timmy to share his adventures with a friend. Timmy thought of his best friend, Billy, who lived in the same town. He decided to invite him on his next journey.

    As the argument ended, Timmy found that the broom no longer moved. It seemed to have lost its magic. Feeling disheartened, he realized that their disagreement had affected the broom's power.
