    Saad, a four and a half year old boy, was reading a story about dwarves one day. His dark blond hair was styled back, and his light blond eyebrows were furrowed in concentration. The story was so captivating that he felt himself getting drawn into it.

    Suddenly, Saad found himself standing in front of a door that wasn't there before. The words “Imagination Door” were written on it. Without thinking, Saad stepped through the door and entered an entirely different world.

    As soon as he stepped through, the door disappeared. Saad realized he was now stuck in a world of imagination. It was a strange, yet magical place, filled with incredible sights and creatures.

    Saad's adventures in this world were nothing short of fantastic. He flew on the backs of dragons, spoke with talking animals, and even dined with the queen of fairies. At first, he was overjoyed and couldn't have been happier.

    But as time passed, Saad began to miss the real world. He longed to see his parents, to play with his friends, and to feel the warmth of the sun on his face. He decided he wanted to go back.

    Saad didn't know how to return to the real world, so he went to the dwarves for help. They were curious about the real world and asked him to explain the difference between the real world and the world of imagination.

    Saad explained to them that the real world is where real events take place, while the world of imagination is what we think about in our minds. Just like how they, the dwarves, were part of his imagination and not real.

    The dwarves understood and decided to help Saad. They guided him to a door that appeared out of nowhere. This was the door that would take him back to the real world.

    Saad stepped through the door and was overjoyed to find himself back in his room. He couldn't believe he was finally out of the world of imagination and back in the real world.

    Saad learned a valuable lesson that day. He understood the importance of the real world along with the necessity of the world of imagination in human life. He realized that while imagination is important, we should never forget to appreciate the real world.
