Once upon a time, there was RoMan. He is only a one-year-old bear. He lives in the Romanian forests with his mom.One day, they are walking in the forest. The trees were tall and the forest was quiet and peaceful. Suddenly, a hunter appeared, and he shot his mom. He thought that it will feed his entire family and he would use the fur for his traditional Christmas costume. He will dresses up as a bear and will go carolling through villages and towns, alongside other people dressed in bear fur. Now, RoMan was standing alone in the forest and crying The god Hermes saw everything from the sky and come down. ”I know a special way to help you”, said Hermes. ”Come with me. I'll give you my sandals, translucent fur and a globe. Then I will show you, my plan.” RoMan climbed into Hermes back and they flow to the moon. When the little bear looked up, he saw something amazing: his mother face was in the sky, made of seven stars. RoMan said: "These stars "I know," said Hermes, "but your mother won't be coming back." RoMan was very sad, but he still felt as if his mother were close to him. They flew together through the sky, and the bear kept thinking about Hermes's plan. Suddenly, Hermes said, "Put on your sandals, your transparent fur, and take the globe in your hand. When you do, the sandals will carry you, the fur will make you light, and the globe will point you in the direction of the wonderful planet." RoMan did as Hermes told him. Suddenly, he found himself on a planet filled with beautiful flowers, and colorful elves flew across the meadow. When the bear saw this, he was very happy and remembered that his mother loved him very much. They often ran together through the flower-filled meadow. "Remember," said Hermes, "even though your mother is gone, she will always live in your heart."

RoMan is a little bear,
With his mum he loves to play,
In the forest every day.
One sad day, he starts to cry,
His dear mum says goodbye.
Hermes comes from up above,
Brings him hope and brings him love. “Put on sandals,” Hermes said, “Take this globe and go ahead.” Magic fur will show the way, To a land so bright and gay. RoMan flies up to the sky, To a planet way up high. Flowers bloom in every place, Happy elves fly in space. RoMan smiles, he feels so glad, Thinking of the mum he had. “Don’t be sad,” says Hermes true, “Her love will stay with you.”

Roman closed his eyes as tight as he could. 🌼 When he opened them, he jumped in surprise. “Oh wow!” he whispered. He was standing in a big green meadow. In the distance he saw colorful houses and a tall castle. “Welcome to Poland!” said the magic flower. Roman saw a beautiful white eagle. “The White Eagle is the symbol of Poland,” the flower explained. Then he saw a big city. “That is Warsaw, the capital city,” said the flower. “There are also the Tatra Mountains, and even a sea with golden amber.” Roman smiled. He saw green forests and blue lakes. “I think I really like this country,” he said. And the magic shoes sparkled again.
Roman is alone on the moon.
It's cold; the ground is white and rocky. There is no oxygen, and it is hard to breathe. A cold wind blows, almost like a hurricane. There is total silence. Roman is scared. He is sad.
He thinks about his mom:
“Today I’m very sad. I miss my mom and my Romanian forests. In the forest you see colored butterflies, brown bears, red and white foxes, and a red eagle that flies happily in the sky. It is like paradise. I can play with my bear friends. It is nice to be in nature.”
Roman decides to walk on the moon. Suddenly, he sees a river and some grass with one thousand colored flowers. What a wonderful place! He picks up one flower, one with rainbow colors, to give it to his mom. When Roman touches it, he understands that it is made of precious and magical stones.
The flower says, “Who is touching me?” Then it sees a sad bear, so it says, “Hi, what's your name? How old are you? Where are you from?”
Roman answers, “I'm Roman, I'm from Romania, and I’m one year old.”
“I see you're sad. Why?” says the Magic Flower.
Roman answers, “I want to go back to the forests in Romania, but I don't know how.”
The Magic Flower looks at Roman’s sandals and says, “Oh, but I see you're wearing magic sandals!”
Roman answers, “I don’t know how to use them.”
The Magic Flower answers, “I think I can unlock them! Don’t worry!”
Roman smiles. “Thank you, dear Magic Flower. What should I do?”
The Flower winks at Roman and says, “Just close your eyes….”

Create a simple rhyme based on the story.
The Moon in the Well. Maria is an 8-year-old girl who lives in Sicily but is originally from Romania.
Maria loves looking at the moon; she especially enjoys seeing it reflected in the water of the well in her garden. She often spends hours gazing at its reflection in the well. One evening, she noticed a strange glow on the moon; it seemed to have a crown of stars around it. What she saw instead was the crown of stars on the head of Roman, a one-year-old bear who lived alone on the moon. Hunters had killed his mother, and he longed to return to his homeland: Romania.
That evening, while gazing at the moon's reflection, Maria fell into the well. Fortunately, she was unharmed, but she didn't know how to get out. She began screaming: "Moon, oh my dear moon, you made me fall, and you have to get me out of here." She screamed so loudly that Roman heard her from the moon and decided to come down to help her. He looked carefully at his globe, from where he could observe the Earth, and saw a little girl crying for help. But the wings on Roman's sandals wouldn't let him fly there. So he decided to follow the sound waves of Maria's cry, using the crown of stars as a ladder. Once on land, Roman saved Maria, who, after hearing his story, promised to take him to Romania with her.
But Roman didn't know he was in danger. Someone had seen him and told Maria's father, who was meanwhile searching for his daughter, that he might have eaten her. Maria's father, who was a skilled hunter, took his rifle and ran to look for the bear.....,.....
Maria’s father comes near the well; he sees Roman and points the rifle. Maria cries and goes in front of the bear: “Stop, dad; don’t shoot! He is my friend! He helps and saves me!”The hunter puts down the rifle; he hugs his daughter. Roman is scared; he throws out his crown of stars and he starts to rise on the bright stair.Maria promises to Roman: “Next spring we’ll go to Romania together”. Since that day Maria sees the moon in the well and says “hello” to Roman when she sees the light of his small stars, in the water.When spring arrives, Roman knocks on Maria’s door; they hug together, and they are happy.Roman and Maria spend many days playing and running in the green and fresh grass, in coloured and scented flowers.They keep the promise: they go together to Romania, with Maria’s father
Maria watched the moon at night,
Its silver glow so soft and bright.
Inside the well it shone so deep,
A magic light her eyes would keep.

"I'm too small to help you, but I know someone who can help you:a friend of mine who always passes near the Moon, at night.”
"Let's run to the top of that mountain over there, but I'm a little scared. The Dafnix people are great water drinkers and are always chasing us.

I have magical sandals that leave no footprints; don't worry! No one will catch you." So,they reach the top of the mountain and begin to wait. At night, in the dark sky, a beautiful shooting star appears. "Hi Sky, you're so bright tonight! Could you do me a favor?" "Of course, my friend..." "Could you accompany my friend Roman up to the clouds that cover planet Earth?" And so the Star approaches the Moon; Roman leaps onto it, instantly turning all yellow.

A magic rhyme On the Moon sits Roman, a bear so sad,
Missing the home and the friends he had.
Then Neil arrives with a rocket of steel,
Powered by joy that is shiny and real.
They dream of the grass and the flowers so bright,
and fly back to Earth on a beam of light.
But the little bear Roman had a problem. During the time he lived alone on the Moon, he forgot what it was like to be happy. Everything was deserted there, there were no plants or animals, and he had no one to play with. His eyes were sad and filled with tears.
Then an idea came to him:
-Neil, tell me what your garden is like!
-My garden is wonderful! The grass is green as emerald, the flowers are of all colors and are fragrant. The trees are full of birds that sing sweetly.
-How beautiful, Neil!... said the little bear, wiping away his tears.
A hint of happiness appeared in his eyes.
-Tell me, please, what your house is like!
-My house is in the middle of the garden. I live there with my family, my wife and children. They are my joy.
-I also have a house and a family to which I want to return!
At that moment, thinking of his loved ones, springs of happiness began to flow from his eyes.
Neil understood that it was time to quickly take the teddy bear to the rocket so that the happiness it was pouring out would help them get home, to Earth.
Soon the two friends managed to start the rocket and thus they were able to return to the only place where they could be happy… home.
Once upon a time there was a bear named Roman. He lived on the Moon, but he dreamed of returning to Earth. One day, Roman saw an astronaut who came to the Moon, but he didn't know that man was Neil Armstrong. Neil's rocket broke down because he ran out of fuel. But hope was not lost, because the rocket could be powered by Roman's happiness and positive energy. Neil Armstrong saw Roman and tried to get closer to him. The bear got scared, because he thought Neil was an alien. Roman started to run away, but Neil Armstrong stopped him.
– Little bear, stop! I'm not here to hurt you! Neil shouted.
– Who are you and why are you here? Roman asked.
– My name is Neil Armstrong, and I'm an astronaut from Earth. I came here to explore the Moon, but my rocket broke down.
– I always wanted to return to Earth, Roman said optimistically.
– I can help you do that! But I need your help too. My rocket can be fueled by your happiness, and we could both get back to Earth.
Neil and Roman became friends and agreed to collaborate…
The grass is green, the journey is done. They play together in the golden sun.

Then an idea came to him: - Neil, tell me what your garden is like! - My garden is wonderful! The grass is green as emerald, the flowers are of all colors and are fragrant. The trees are full of birds that sing sweetly. - How beautiful, Neil!... said the little bear, wiping away his tears.
A hint of happiness appeared in his eyes. - Tell me, please, what your house is like!
-My house is in the middle of the garden. I live there with my family, my wife and children. They are my joy. - I also have a house and a family to which I want to return!
At that moment, thinking of his loved ones, springs of happiness began to flow from his eyes.
Neil understood that it was time to quickly take the teddy bear to the rocket so that the happiness it was pouring out would help them get home, to Earth.
Soon the two friends managed to start the rocket and thus they were able to return to the only place where they could be happy… home.

From Moon to EarthHe holds his breath. A key to take A spell to break
As his feet touched the ground, a thick, silver mist rose around him, curling through the air as if alive.
From within the mist, a figure slowly appeared—an old, mysterious sage with eyes that seemed to hold centuries of knowledge.
“Roman,” the sage said softly, as if he had been waiting all along.
At the sound of his name, a long-forgotten memory stirred within Roman’s heart. A friend… someone he had lost long ago.
“You are not here by chance,” the sage continued. “What you seek is not only freedom from the spell—but the truth you left behind.”
Roman’s chest tightened. “The truth?”
The sage nodded. “Follow the echoes of your past. The one you lost… is the key to breaking the enchantment.”
In that moment, Roman understood. His journey was not just about escaping the spell—it was about facing the memories he had buried deep within himself.
With renewed determination, he stepped forward into the mist, ready to follow the hidden path of his past—toward pain, truth, and perhaps… hope.
As Roman moved deeper into the mist, the memories he had buried within his heart began to rise, one by one. Fear, regret, and the faint image of the one he had lost… they all tried to hold him back.
But this time, he did not run.
He fell to his knees, closed his eyes, and for the first time in years, allowed himself to truly feel the pain. He accepted the guilt he had carried for so long. Slowly, the whispers faded. The mist began to dissolve.
And then… he saw them.
The one he thought he had lost stood right before him. Not a ghost, not a shadow—just a memory, yet no longer frightening. Roman reached out his hand.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered, his voice trembling.
In return, he received only a gentle, peaceful smile.
That smile untangled something deep within him.
In an instant, everything changed. The enchantment shattered like invisible chains breaking apart. The sky cleared, the mist vanished completely, and the world before him finally came into focus.
The garden… glowing in shades of green and gold.
The place he had watched from afar for so long—now right in front of him.
Roman slowly rose to his feet. This time, there was no fear, no hesitation in his steps. With each step forward, he felt lighter, freer.
When he finally reached the garden, the wind brushed softly against his face. The sun rose behind the mountains, bathing everything in golden light.
Roman took a deep breath.
“I’m home,” he whispered.
And this time… he truly was.
Roman watched through his crystal ball as the sun rose over the peaks of the Fagaras Mountains. From there, on the Moon, Romania looked like a garden glazed with green and gold. But the spell that kept him away was one woven from fear and painful memories. To break it, Roman had to find the “Glen of Silence”, a place where no hunter could step. One night, when the Aurora Borealis was a bright green, Roman tightened his winged sandals on his feet. — “It’s time to go home”, he whispered. With a brave leap, he left the dusty soil of the Moon. The sandals given by Hermes began to shine, transforming him into a shooting star that crossed the sky of Europe. He landed smoothly on Toaca Peak in the Ceahlău Massif, the sacred mountain of the Dacians.

Roman stepped forward, lighter than ever before.
“I’m home,” he said softly.
And this time, he truly was.

When you do, the sandals will carry you, the fur will make you light, and the globe will point you in the direction of the wonderful planet." RoMan did as Hermes told him. Suddenly, he found himself on a planet filled with beautiful flowers, and colorful elves flew across the meadow. When the bear saw this, he was very happy and remembered that his mother loved him very much. They often ran together through the flower-filled meadow.

Roman closed his eyes as tight as he could. 🌼 When he opened them, he jumped in surprise. “Oh wow!” he whispered. He was standing in a big green meadow. In the distance he saw colorful houses and a tall castle. “Welcome to Poland!” said the magic flower. Roman saw a beautiful white eagle. “The White Eagle is the symbol of Poland,” the flower explained. Then he saw a big city. “That is Warsaw, the capital city,” said the flower. “There are also the Tatra Mountains, and even a sea with golden amber.” Roman smiled. He saw green forests and blue lakes. “I think I really like this country,” he said. And the magic shoes sparkled again.
Roman is alone on the moon. It's cold; the ground is white and rocky. There is no oxygen, and it is hard to breathe. A cold wind blows, almost like a hurricane. There is total silence. Roman is scared. He is sad. He thinks about his mom: “Today I’m very sad. I miss my mom and my Romanian forests. In the forest you see colored butterflies, brown bears, red and white foxes, and a red eagle that flies happily in the sky. It is like paradise. I can play with my bear friends. It is nice to be in nature.” Roman decides to walk on the moon. Suddenly, he sees a river and some grass with one thousand colored flowers. What a wonderful place! He picks up one flower, one with rainbow colors, to give it to his mom. When Roman touches it, he understands that it is made of precious and magical stones. The flower says, “Who is touching me?” Then it sees a sad bear, so it says, “Hi, what's your name? How old are you? Where are you from?” Roman answers, “I'm Roman, I'm from Romania, and I’m one year old.” “I see you're sad. Why?” says the Magic Flower. Roman answers, “I want to go back to the forests in Romania, but I don't know how.” The Magic Flower looks at Roman’s sandals and says, “Oh, but I see you're wearing magic sandals!” Roman answers, “I don’t know how to use them.” The Magic Flower answers, “I think I can unlock them! Don’t worry!” Roman smiles. “Thank you, dear Magic Flower. What should I do?” The Flower winks at Roman and says, “Just close your eyes….”

Create a simple rhyme based on the story.
The Moon in the Well. Maria is an 8-year-old girl who lives in Sicily but is originally from Romania. Maria loves looking at the moon; she especially enjoys seeing it reflected in the water of the well in her garden. She often spends hours gazing at its reflection in the well. One evening, she noticed a strange glow on the moon; it seemed to have a crown of stars around it. What she saw instead was the crown of stars on the head of Roman, a one-year-old bear who lived alone on the moon. Hunters had killed his mother, and he longed to return to his homeland: Romania. That evening, while gazing at the moon's reflection, Maria fell into the well. Fortunately, she was unharmed, but she didn't know how to get out. She began screaming: "Moon, oh my dear moon, you made me fall, and you have to get me out of here." She screamed so loudly that Roman heard her from the moon and decided to come down to help her. He looked carefully at his globe, from where he could observe the Earth, and saw a little girl crying for help. But the wings on Roman's sandals wouldn't let him fly there. So he decided to follow the sound waves of Maria's cry, using the crown of stars as a ladder. Once on land, Roman saved Maria, who, after hearing his story, promised to take him to Romania with her. But Roman didn't know he was in danger. Someone had seen him and told Maria's father, who was meanwhile searching for his daughter, that he might have eaten her. Maria's father, who was a skilled hunter, took his rifle and ran to look for the bear.....,.....
Maria’s father comes near the well; he sees Roman and points the rifle. Maria cries and goes in front of the bear: “Stop, dad; don’t shoot! He is my friend! He helps and saves me!”The hunter puts down the rifle; he hugs his daughter. Roman is scared; he throws out his crown of stars and he starts to rise on the bright stair.Maria promises to Roman: “Next spring we’ll go to Romania together”. Since that day Maria sees the moon in the well and says “hello” to Roman when she sees the light of his small stars, in the water.When spring arrives, Roman knocks on Maria’s door; they hug together, and they are happy.Roman and Maria spend many days playing and running in the green and fresh grass, in coloured and scented flowers.They keep the promise: they go together to Romania, with Maria’s father
Maria watched the moon at night, Its silver glow so soft and bright. Inside the well it shone so deep, A magic light her eyes would keep.

A magic rhyme On the Moon sits Roman, a bear so sad, Missing the home and the friends he had. Then Neil arrives with a rocket of steel, Powered by joy that is shiny and real. They dream of the grass and the flowers so bright, and fly back to Earth on a beam of light.
But the little bear Roman had a problem. During the time he lived alone on the Moon, he forgot what it was like to be happy. Everything was deserted there, there were no plants or animals, and he had no one to play with. His eyes were sad and filled with tears. Then an idea came to him: -Neil, tell me what your garden is like! -My garden is wonderful! The grass is green as emerald, the flowers are of all colors and are fragrant. The trees are full of birds that sing sweetly. -How beautiful, Neil!... said the little bear, wiping away his tears. A hint of happiness appeared in his eyes. -Tell me, please, what your house is like! -My house is in the middle of the garden. I live there with my family, my wife and children. They are my joy. -I also have a house and a family to which I want to return! At that moment, thinking of his loved ones, springs of happiness began to flow from his eyes. Neil understood that it was time to quickly take the teddy bear to the rocket so that the happiness it was pouring out would help them get home, to Earth. Soon the two friends managed to start the rocket and thus they were able to return to the only place where they could be happy… home.

But hope was not lost, because the rocket could be powered by Roman's happiness and positive energy. Neil Armstrong saw Roman and tried to get closer to him. The bear got scared, because he thought Neil was an alien. Roman started to run away, but Neil Armstrong stopped him. – Little bear, stop! I'm not here to hurt you! Neil shouted. – Who are you and why are you here? Roman asked. – My name is Neil Armstrong, and I'm an astronaut from Earth. I came here to explore the Moon, but my rocket broke down. – I always wanted to return to Earth, Roman said optimistically. – I can help you do that! But I need your help too. My rocket can be fueled by your happiness, and we could both get back to Earth. Neil and Roman became friends and agreed to collaborate…
The grass is green, the journey is done. They play together in the golden sun.

From Moon to EarthHe holds his breath. A key to take A spell to break
As his feet touched the ground, a thick, silver mist rose around him, curling through the air as if alive. From within the mist, a figure slowly appeared—an old, mysterious sage with eyes that seemed to hold centuries of knowledge. “Roman,” the sage said softly, as if he had been waiting all along. At the sound of his name, a long-forgotten memory stirred within Roman’s heart. A friend… someone he had lost long ago. “You are not here by chance,” the sage continued. “What you seek is not only freedom from the spell—but the truth you left behind.” Roman’s chest tightened. “The truth?” The sage nodded. “Follow the echoes of your past. The one you lost… is the key to breaking the enchantment.” In that moment, Roman understood. His journey was not just about escaping the spell—it was about facing the memories he had buried deep within himself. With renewed determination, he stepped forward into the mist, ready to follow the hidden path of his past—toward pain, truth, and perhaps… hope. As Roman moved deeper into the mist, the memories he had buried within his heart began to rise, one by one. Fear, regret, and the faint image of the one he had lost… they all tried to hold him back. But this time, he did not run. He fell to his knees, closed his eyes, and for the first time in years, allowed himself to truly feel the pain. He accepted the guilt he had carried for so long. Slowly, the whispers faded. The mist began to dissolve. And then… he saw them. The one he thought he had lost stood right before him. Not a ghost, not a shadow—just a memory, yet no longer frightening. Roman reached out his hand. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, his voice trembling. In return, he received only a gentle, peaceful smile. That smile untangled something deep within him. In an instant, everything changed. The enchantment shattered like invisible chains breaking apart. The sky cleared, the mist vanished completely, and the world before him finally came into focus. The garden… glowing in shades of green and gold. The place he had watched from afar for so long—now right in front of him. Roman slowly rose to his feet. This time, there was no fear, no hesitation in his steps. With each step forward, he felt lighter, freer. When he finally reached the garden, the wind brushed softly against his face. The sun rose behind the mountains, bathing everything in golden light. Roman took a deep breath. “I’m home,” he whispered. And this time… he truly was.
Roman watched through his crystal ball as the sun rose over the peaks of the Fagaras Mountains. From there, on the Moon, Romania looked like a garden glazed with green and gold. But the spell that kept him away was one woven from fear and painful memories. To break it, Roman had to find the “Glen of Silence”, a place where no hunter could step. One night, when the Aurora Borealis was a bright green, Roman tightened his winged sandals on his feet. — “It’s time to go home”, he whispered. With a brave leap, he left the dusty soil of the Moon. The sandals given by Hermes began to shine, transforming him into a shooting star that crossed the sky of Europe. He landed smoothly on Toaca Peak in the Ceahlău Massif, the sacred mountain of the Dacians.
