🎮 Sofía and the Secret Game
Last Saturday, Sofía found an old video game in her brother’s room. It didn’t have a name, just a silver case. She turned it on and suddenly everything changed. The room disappeared.
Sofía was inside the game!
She looked around. “Where am I?” she asked. Robots were flying. The ground was blue. She wasn’t scared—just surprised.
To escape, Sofía had to finish three levels. First, she jumped over lasers and climbed a tall wall. Then, she found a key inside a treasure chest.
Now, she is running across a moving bridge. The wind is blowing fast! She holds the key tight.
In the last level, she fought a giant cat made of fire. It didn’t smile. It didn’t speak. But Sofía was brave. She didn’t cry.
She jumped, shouted, and pressed the final button.
Suddenly, she was back in her room.
Her mum asked, “Why are you on the floor?”
Sofía smiled. “Did I really go inside the game?”
