Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the quiet village tucked between hills and forests, a fascinating story arose. It was a story of great friendship, unrestricted imagination, and the power of stories that last. It was about three best friends who could not be separated: Lily, a child with a special gift; Oliver, her naughty friend; and Elara, a character from a book who came to life. Lily had always been able to bring book characters to life in a special way. People from all over the town came to see the magic, and her gift shocked them. Along with Oliver and Elara, they went on many adventures with their literary friends, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. Things turned upside down for them when a strange firefly led Lily to an old, dusty book in the town library. The protector of all stories lived in a magical forest deep in the mountains, as this book explained. Someone who had never been outside of a book had to come to life so they could go to this strange place. Their trip was dangerous, but they were determined and kept going until they reached the magical forest's hidden valley. As the guardian of stories, the Storykeeper showed up as a beautiful creature and gave them a wonderful gift. They could now call on figures from any book, so they didn't need to carry around a real copy. When they got back to their town, they showed off their newfound power by making characters appear out of thin air, which made the people there very happy. When stories came to life, the neighborhood, which had been quiet, became very lively. Lily, Oliver, and Elara were careful and quiet with their gift, which kept the purity of stories safe. People looked forward to their storytelling meetings in the village square, where they told stories of bravery, wisdom, and adventure. The three people's friendship stayed strong over time. Oliver's bravery, Elara's interest, and Lily's loyalty all showed that their partnership would last. They kept traveling the world together, connecting the fictional and real worlds. Their story was a celebration of the power of stories that doesn't change, a lesson that stories are what make up our lives. The story would live on through many generations of dreamers who would rediscover the magic of fantasy and start their own amazing journeys in the world of stories. The Story's Start: Lily was a girl who lived in a cute town tucked away among peaceful hills and bright, lush trees. In this quiet neighborhood, Lily's presence was always there, keeping things calm. By most measures, she wasn't a special child, but she had a unique skill that made her stand out from the other kids in the village. Her special skill was being able to bring personalities from books to life. For as long as she could remember, Lily's skill to charm people had made her life magical. She had seen it for the first time when she was just a baby, which shows how naturally connected she was with stories. Her folks didn't understand what she was doing when they found her buried in her favorite books. What came next was nothing less than magical. Characters that were only ever seen in pen and paper were now free to move around her room and dance as if they were real. Her parents will never forget that day because they knew from then on, that their daughter was meant for great things. Lily's one-of-a-kind gift quickly got around the town. There were people from all over the neighborhood who came to see this amazing event. With their favorite books in hand, they would wait in anticipation as Lily's sweet voice brought the words to life. The figures would suddenly come to life after being stuck in the pages for a long time, filling the air with shock and energy. Lily had become the thing that it was because the town had never seen anything like it before. Despite all the beauty and wonder, there was one person who was always with Lily on her amazing journey: the ever-watchful Oliver. Oliver, her best friend, was always looking for thrills and trouble. He loved every chance to see the characters come out in all their bright glory to cross the meadows that surrounded their beloved town. Lily and Oliver had many experiences with their book friends. They sailed with pirates on the high seas and tamed dragons in remote areas. One bright, sunny morning, Lily was reading a book under the shade of a big oak tree. Suddenly, a rush of wind blew through the leaves, and a voice asked her something. The voice said, " Lily, would you like to join the biggest adventure of all?" Lily looked all around for the voice, but she couldn't find it. The source stayed elusive, and its presence was tantalizingly mysterious. She answered with both interest and fear, "Who are you, and where can I find you?" The voice, which was hidden, laughed in a sly way. "I am here, right within this very tree," It went off. When Lily looked up, she was shocked to see a bright firefly curled up among the trees. Lily said, "You are a firefly!" The firefly was very bright and noticeable. "Indeed, I am! And there's something I know, something that you don't." Lily asked, "Tell me, what is it?" She was interested. The firefly's secret was told with even more brilliance. "Deep in the village library, there is an old, forgotten book that tells the story of a mythical forest that lies in the heart of the dangerous mountains. Whispers say that this forest is home to a magical creature that protects all stories. But to find this creature, one must bring to life a character that has never been outside the pages of a book." Lily and Oliver looked at each other with excitement, knowing that the pages were as thin as butterfly wings, and the cover was worn from being touched by time over and over again. They kept the promise of an unforgettable trip. Lily picked out Elara, a smart and brave girl from an old fairy tale, from the worn-out pages. As Lily spoke, Elara walked up in front of them, her eyes filled with shock. Oliver yelled, "Welcome to our world, Elara!" with happy tears in his eyes. Elara blinked and looked around with wide eyes. Elara quickly agreed because she was naturally eager to move when Lily asked, "Where am I?" To which Elara replied, "Where am I?" The adventure began with the group going through dense woods, climbing steep hills, and crossing raging rivers. During their journey, they met strange creatures and got through many trials, but their desire never changed. Their resolve was fueled by the single goal of finding the magical forest. After days of hard work, they finally found a hidden valley tucked deep into the mountains. In front of them was the door to the magical forest. The old trees there were so tall that they were scary, and the air was filled with magic. It was a place where stories could go beyond the limits of written words and figures from many stories could roam freely. As I went deeper into the forest, the guardian of stories appeared. It was an ethereal being with wings that sparkled, and its eyes were filled with the knowledge of many ages. The thing called itself the Storykeeper, which means it kept the world's stories. Lily, Oliver, and Elara talked to the Storykeeper about their journey and how they wanted to bring more characters to life. Because they loved the art of talking so much, the Storykeeper gave them a magical gift. They could now make any book character come to life without having to find a real person to play the part.

Download or read book Nation of Victims written by Vivek Ramaswamy and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of Woke Inc. and a 2024 presidential candidate makes the case that the essence of true American identity is to pursue excellence unapologetically and reject victimhood culture. Hardship is now equated with victimhood. Outward displays of vulnerability in defeat are celebrated over winning unabashedly. The pursuit of excellence and exceptionalism are at the heart of American identity, and the disappearance of these ideals in our country leaves a deep moral and cultural vacuum in its wake. But the solution isn’t to simply complain about it. It’s to revive a new cultural movement in America that puts excellence first again. Leaders have called Ramaswamy “the most compelling conservative voice in the country” and “one of the towering intellects in America,” and this book reveals why: he spares neither left nor right in this scathing indictment of the victimhood culture at the heart of America’s national decline. In this national bestseller, Ramaswamy explains that we’re a nation of victims now. It’s one of the few things we still have left in common—across black victims, white victims, liberal victims, and conservative victims. Victims of each other, and ultimately, of ourselves. This fearless, provocative book is for readers who dare to look in the mirror and question their most sacred assumptions about who we are and how we got here. Intricately tracing history from the fall of Rome to the rise of America, weaving Western philosophy with Eastern theology in ways that moved Jefferson and Adams centuries ago, this book describes the rise and the fall of the American experiment itself—and hopefully its reincarnation.
