 The Secret Society of Shadows
In a quiet little town, a boy named Arman lived with his grandmother. She always told
him strange tales about the Shadows, a secret group of people who could make
themselves invisible and cause all sorts of mischief. "They hide among us, looking just
like ordinary people," she would warn him. "But you can always tell—it’s their cold
hands. They never feel warm."
One day, while playing in the park, Arman saw a man in a long black coat talking to
some children. When he tried to shake the man’s hand, it was ice-cold! Arman froze.
Could this man be one of the Shadows his grandmother warned him about?
Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to follow the man. He trailed him into a
dark alley, where the man disappeared into a hidden door. Inside, Arman found a secret
meeting of Shadows plotting their next move—turning children into stone statues to
decorate the town square!
Arman barely escaped and ran home to tell his grandmother. Together, they devised a
clever plan using an ancient book of spells his grandmother kept hidden. That night,
they sneaked into the Shadows' lair and reversed the spell, freeing all the children.
