Once upon a time, in a magical land called Mathland, there was a young girl named Anna. Anna loved numbers and solving puzzles. One day, she discovered a secret door hidden behind her bookshelf. Excited, Anna went through the door and found herself in a beautiful garden filled with bright flowers.

As Anna explored the garden, she came across a friendly butterfly named Benny who could do amazing things with numbers. Benny noticed Anna's curiosity and said, 'Hello, Anna! Would you like to join me on an adventure?' Anna's eyes lit up with excitement as she nodded.

Benny and Anna journeyed through Mathland, encountering different challenges along the way. One of the challenges was to count the number of apples on a tree. The tree had 3 branches, and each branch had 5 apples. Benny quickly multiplied 3 by 5 and said, 'There are 15 apples on the tree!' Anna clapped her hands in amazement.

Next, they passed by a river where they saw a group of ducks swimming. Anna wanted to count how many ducks there were, but there were too many for her to count individually. Benny came to the rescue once again. He noticed that the ducks were arranged in 4 rows with 6 ducks in each row. Benny multiplied 4 by 6 and said, 'There are 24 ducks in total!' Anna giggled with delight.

Their adventure continued as they reached a magical castle. They entered the castle and found a treasure chest. Anna wondered how many gold coins were inside. Benny saw that the gold coins were arranged in a grid with 8 rows and 7 columns. With his amazing multiplication skills, Benny quickly multiplied 8 by 7 and exclaimed, 'There are 56 gold coins in the chest!' Anna clapped her hands with joy.

As the sun began to set, Anna and Benny returned to the garden where their adventure had begun. Anna thanked Benny for teaching her about multiplication in such an exciting way. Benny smiled and said, 'Remember, Anna, multiplication helps us solve problems and find the total when we have groups of the same things.' Anna nodded, her mind filled with newfound knowledge.
