Liam is a hero. He lives in a steam city. The city is full of gears and pipes. It hisses with steam. Liam wears a bright red cape. He is small but brave. He can fly. He can run. He can smile and make kids happy. His best friend is a horse. The horse name is Sparky. Sparky is big and gentle. Sparky loves to trot. Sparky loves to neigh. They play in the streets. They play near tall machines. One day they saw something dim. A golden gear lay on the ground. The gear was shiny and round. The gear is very lost. Liam picked it up. He held it with care. He looked around. He looked near the tubes. He looked by the pipes. No one was there. The gear felt heavy. Liam felt curious. Sparky felt curious too. They wanted to help. They knew it was important. The steam city needs gear. The gear makes light in homes. At night kids need light. Liam wants kids to smile. Sparky wants the same. So they set off. They walk down a lane. They walk past a shop. They walk past a fountain. The fountain has steam jets. They smell hot water. They see big doors. The doors are heavy. They push them open. They enter a factory. Inside it is noisy. Gears turn and grind. Pipes hiss and puff. Sparks jump up. A tall figure stands there. He is the Ancient Guardian. He guards the big machine. He has a gray beard. He has bright eyes. He looks at them. Liam says hi. Sparky neighs softly. The guardian frowns. He asks why they came. Liam holds the gear. He says they found it. He wants to help. The guardian nods. He seems unsure. He asks for proof. Liam shows the gear. It glows in his hand. The guardian smiles. He waves his hand. The machine hums. It needs the gear. The machine lights up. Warm light fills the room. Liam feels happy. Sparky feels happy too. The guardian thanks them. He offers a prize. Liam shakes his head. He says he is glad. Sparky nods. They leave the factory. They see bright lamps. They see warm houses. People wave at them. Kids smile at them. Liam waves back. Sparky neighs in joy. The city feels safe. Liam feels proud. Sparky feels proud. They trot home. They rest under a lamp. The lamp glows softly. Liam pets Sparky. Sparky nuzzles Liam. They feel good inside. They share a snack. They laugh together. Liam says good night. Sparky says good night. The stars glow above. The steam city sleeps. The gear is safe. Tomorrow they will play. Tomorrow they will help. Liam is a hero. Sparky is a hero too. The day ends with joy. The night ends with peace. All is calm. All is bright. Good night, Liam. Good night, Sparky. A bird chirps. A small bird chirps. Liam hears the bird. Sparky hears it too. They listen. They feel calm. Steam curls in air. Gears rest. The city is still. They feel safe. They feel warm. They hug. They laugh. They smile. They dream. They dream of play. They dream of light. They dream of fun. The night is soft. The night is bright. The day will come. The sun will rise. Liam will fly. Sparky will trot. They will help again. They will share joy. They will find fun. They will find games. They will find friends. The city wakes. The city gleams. The city smiles. Today is a gift. Today is a song. Today is a hug. Today is bright. Today is safe. Today is fun. Liam loves city. Sparky loves city too. They love each other. They love to help. They love to play. They love to smile. Liam hugs Sparky. They dream sweet dreams. Good night, steam city.
