Once upon a time, in a village bright and sunny, lived a curious boy named Polzek Johny.

One fine day, Johny found a tiny, twinkling door near an oak so grand, it made him explore!

Knock, knock, knock! Johny rapped on the door, which opened and revealed more—a cozy little house of the mouse named Hare!

"Welcome, welcome!" Hare squeaked with glee. "Come inside for honey tea!"

As they sipped their tea so sweet, a riddle box sat at their feet. "Solve my puzzles, quick and neat," it said, dancing to a beat.

"First riddle: I’m tall when I’m young and short when I’m old. What am I?"

"A candle!" Johny exclaimed with cheer, and the box winked, "That’s right, dear!"

The box danced around, then stopped once more. "Second riddle: What has keys but can't open doors?"

"A piano!" Hare said with delight. The box nodded, sparkling bright!

"Final riddle," the box did say, "What can travel around the world while staying in a corner all day?"

"A stamp!" Johny shouted in a quick snap, and the box clapped and took a nap.

"You’ve done so well," Hare clapped with glee. "Now let’s have some berry pie and climb a tree!"
