The morning sun shone through the window and onto Timmy’s face, waking him for a new day. “Good morning Simon” he said to his friend Simon, a six foot white scimitar.

“Good morning Timmy, how are you today?”

“I’m great.” Timmy replied as he jumped off the bed and went into the bathroom. He washed his hands, brushed his teeth and combed his hair. Then Timmy put on his 'Sword of Ultimate Power'. He and Simon began their journey into the Enchanted Forest. Timmy, with Simon's help, fought off trolls and monsters of every shape and size. They found a nice clearing to sit and rest.
