Oliver, a ten‑year‑old explorer, always wondered what lay beyond the big oak tree behind his house.

In the dim light, a rusted metal door caught his eye.

Oliver’s heart thumped as he pulled the heavy hinges open, and a warm, glowing light spilled onto the floor.

Nimbus guided Oliver to the Dream Library, a place where every book held a living story.

Each adventure was a lesson: kindness could brighten a gloomy cloud, courage could pull a comet out of its tail.

He asked Oliver a difficult question: “Who will guard the Dream Gate when you return?”
它向奥利弗提问：“当你返回时，谁来守护梦之门？”
