The Time Machine
Yesterday, I was cleaning out my grandpa’s garage and I found a really weird machine. When I grabbed it, I took a trip back in time to when the pyramids were being built! I was so scared and amazed, but I came back to the present when I let go of the machine.
Today, I’m doing experiments to see how this mysterious machine works. So far I have learned that when I touch it, I travel through time, but when I let go, I come back. If I can figure out how to stay in the past, maybe I can explore?
I’m feeling confident. Tomorrow, I will do it. I will travel back to the pyramids and explore. I just have to make sure I don’t get trapped there…
