There was once a Magical Scientist that could do everything; in fact he could even make a real mini volcano.
This Scientist was famous, so famous that all the sleep that he had each night was 1 hour. This was because he was so busy working and trying to discover things.
One day the Scientist was walking in the park trying to found out what leaves were made of. All of a sudden when he was looking up a tree a possum came running down and bumped into his head. The bump was so bad that he lost his magical powers.
Hours later, he was still at the park still trying to figure out what leaves were made out of, when he thought to himself maybe if I go back to the lab I will figure it out.
When he arrived back to the lab the Scientist said, "I am never going to work this out, I have lost my magical powers". I have to find them super fast. So he started to look; he looked at the park and he looked at the museum, and still could not found his magic powers.
The next day he went to the doctors to see if she could work it all out. The doctor said that we could get your magical powers back; all you need to do is go to the park everyday.
For the next week he went to the park everyday and eventually his magical powers returned and the Scientist had his old life back and could return to doing all the things he loved, everyday.
