You have a time machine that will only work once. What’ll you do with it?
I remember the day when I saw a man who allowed me to travel in time. IT was a sunny day, so I decided to talk a walk. In the park I saw a man who needed help. I helped him, then he said:
-I can’t express my gratitude to you. I have to give you a present.
He showed me advice with only a button.
-This is a time machine, you can use it only once. It’ll send you thirty years after.
I took the device and said:
-You thought that I’d believe you? Ha-ha-ha!!!
I pressed the button and then I woke up in my bedroom. When I came out I saw a little boy who looked like me very much.
-Good morning, Daddy! You look like really young.—The boy said.
I was surprised hearing that. How could I have child, I’m only 14 years old? Then I decided to reply him:
-Good morning, son. Can you tell me which year is this?
-Don’t you really know? It’s 2045!
-Oh my God, -- I cried loudly.
-What’s the matter dad?
-Nothing. That’s OK.
I left. I saw a lot of things outside, that surprised me. For example: flying cars, flying buildings, holographic advertisements…Now, I understood that it’s really the 2044th year. I thought that only “me from the future” could help me. So I came back home to know where do I work. I learnt that I worked in a robot-creating company, where I wanted to work. But it was too far from my current house. I came out and saw one of my friends—Emil. He said:
-Hey, Eric! Where are you going?
I thought “who’s Eric?” then I understood that it’s my son.
-Hi, Uncle Emil! I’m going to my dad’s workplace.
-Get on my car, I’ll take you there.
He brought me to my future workplace, the building’ve changed a lot. I entered and met another friend of mine- Raf.
-What are you doing here, Eric?
-I want to see my dad.
-Follow me, I’ll show you where he’s.
He brought me to a room.
-Well, here he is, you may enter, -- Raf said.
-OK, thanks!
I entered the room and “Future me” turned around and said:
-I knew that you’d come. But unfortunately I can’t help you.
-If not you, so who?
-The man who brought you here. You’re maybe surprised to see me here. You maybe thought that if you’re here I can’t exist here, right?
-Well, I actually thought about that.
-Because you(I)’ve already traveled in time, to return back.
-Mmm… Now, I get it. Where can I find that man?
-There, where you first saw him.
-OK, thanks!!!
I rushed back to the park. It was hard to find that place, because there were a lot of trees for ecological purposes. But I found him. He saw me and said:
-Now, do you believe me?
-Yes, I do. I want to come back in my time.
-Why? Don’t you like our time?
-No, I like it, but it’s not time to enjoy this time.
So, he came me that device, I pressed the button, then I felt asleep. When I woke up, I wanted to check am I back to my time. When I came out of my room and saw my family, I understood that I’m back.

A beautifully wrapped package is at your door with the message, “Guard this with your life.” What’s in it and how do you protect it?
I’m at home and suddenly I heard a voice “knock, knock!!” “It’s the door” thought I and opened the door. There were nobodoy. But I found a big magical package. It’s for me. I found a message “Guard this with your life.” I thought “What it will be?” And I opened it. It was a big white tiger. “Ho-la-la. I dream about it many years. But where is he going to life?” “OK. It will like with me and his name will be Zozola!!”
In the evening when my parents arrived from Paris I told them about my new friend Zozola. They was surprised. “How can we live with a wild tiger.” They ordered me to take out the tiger. But I remembered the message!!! What would I do? The next they I take Zozola out for walking. The sun was shining and the weather was cool. But suddenly it started to rain and we saw a beautiful rainbow next to us. I don’t remember how but we walked on rainbow and many trees, rivers, flowers, and animals. “It’s your home Zozola!” “Yes, you’re right.” said Zozola. “Oh—you are speaking, it’s good. Now you are free you can go!” But we met some strange people with black glasses. Zozola started running. “Wait, wait, where are you going???” “Run away!!!” he shouted. “They want to watch me for sanding to the zoo.” We were away from them and we finished running. I asked “How they get here?”
“I don’t know, they send me to you because onoly you have a magic and ou can help us. They want to destroy you for staying here” answered Zozola.
“Oh— But I don’t know anything about it. I can’t use it.” He started laughing. You need to climbe that heel and say “Abracadabra.”
We started climing when we saw them again. We attact at them and we do it!! We win!
