JJ found a strange box in the attic with buttons and lights.
When he pressed a button, the box began to hum, surrounding him with light.
Suddenly, JJ was standing in a sunny field, far from his attic home.
He saw a village with thatched roofs and people in old-fashioned clothes.
A girl in the village, named Eliza, approached and they quickly became friends.
JJ explained the box to Eliza and they decided to explore history together.
Their first stop was ancient Egypt, where pyramids towered over them.
They met a young scribe who taught them about hieroglyphics.
Next, they visited a grand castle in medieval Europe, a time of knights.
They watched a knight's tournament and cheered for the jousting competitors.
Returning to Eliza's time, JJ learned the value of knowledge and history.
He promised to visit Eliza again and zapped back to the present, wiser.
