Tim's Prepositional Adventure
In a town beyond the valley, lived a boy named Tim. One day, Tim found a one-of-a-kind compass. It would point in directions, but in a peculiar way - through prepositions! On his journey, he met a gnome atop a hill, under a rainbow, and beside a river. The gnome, with his riddles full of prepositions, directed Tim, 'Go beyond the forest, and beneath the tallest tree, you'll find your next clue.' Heading through the dense woods, Tim arrived at a troll bridge. The grumpy troll demanded, 'Answer me this, what's inside a box, but outside a circle and below a triangle?' Tim smiled, recognizing the riddle's prepositions, and answered, 'A square!' With each encounter, Tim realized the power of prepositions. He learned they were more than just words; they were keys to understanding and interpreting the world around him. Prepositions were not above him or beneath him, but right at the heart of his adventure.
