Jacob the kid was looking for his long-lost twin sister Lily in their house in Sydney, Australia. He was really worried because they were playing hide and seek. They started playing four days ago.!

“Lily where are you?” screamed Jacob to his pet Fred the Frog.

Jacob remembered Lily’s last hiding spot. It was in the toy chest that lay in the attic. He climbed up the ladder and into the attic, Fred hopping behind him.

Fred the frog jumped into the chest.

POOF!

Fred turned into a magical toy chest! His frog tongue shot out of the chest and curled around Jacob’s waist. Jacob was sucked into the chest.

Moments later, Jacob jumped out of Fred and was surrounded by dragons and swamp monsters. Jacob shrieked and ran towards the nearest tree. He grabbed the stump and tried to climb.

“Oi!” said a voice in the harsh wind. “Get off me”.

“Where did that voice come from?” asked Jacob.

“It came from me,” replied John the Magical Tree.

Jacob leaped off the tree and said calmly, “Where am I?”

“You’re in a magical land, but a dark void has consumed it,” John informed Jacob.

“What the John!”

Suddenly Jacob heard a whisper from the neighbouring island. When he turned towards the voice Jacob saw a glimpse of Lily waving at him.

In an instant, Fred yanked Jacob into the chest and locked it.

One of the swamp monsters lifted Fred and brought him to the dungeon that was protected by dragons.

Fred shot Jacob out and threw him into a cage. When Jacob stood, he heard the squelching behind him…

雅各住在澳洲雪梨,他在家裡尋找失蹤的雙胞胎妹妹莉莉已經好一段時間。他非常擔心莉莉,因為從他們開始玩躲貓貓至今已經是第四天了。

「莉莉!你在哪裡?」雅各對著他的寵物青蛙弗雷德大叫。

雅各想起莉莉最後躲在閣樓裡的玩具箱裡,於是爬上梯子進到閣樓,這時弗雷德跟著跳在他身後。

接著,弗雷德跳進箱子裡。

「蹦!」

弗雷德變成了一個魔法玩具箱!他的舌頭伸出箱外,捲到雅各的腰上。

雅各被吸進了玩具箱。

過了沒多久,雅各從佛雷德的嘴巴跳了出來,發現自己被一群龍和沼澤怪物包圍著。雅各尖叫著跑向最近的一棵樹。他抓住樹樁,試著往上爬。

「欸!」一個聲音從寒風中傳出。「滾開!」。

「這是從哪裡來的聲音?」雅各問。

「是我的聲音。」魔法樹約翰回答。

雅各跳下樹,冷靜地說:「我在哪裡?」

「你在一個有魔法的國度,但黑暗勢力已經把這裡吞噬了。」約翰告訴雅各。

「你到底在說什麼?」雅各說。

忽然雅各聽到鄰近的一座島上傳來微弱的聲音,他看過去竟然發現莉莉正在向他招手。

剎那間,弗雷德張開嘴巴把雅各拉進魔法玩具箱裡並鎖起來。

一隻沼澤怪物舉起弗雷德,把他帶進被龍看守的地牢。

弗雷德把雅各吐了出來,然候扔進一個籠子裡。

當雅各站起來時,他聽到身後傳來踩在泥地的腳步聲…
