The Magical Friends of Matterville

In the land of Matterville, three best friends lived: Sol the Solid, Liq the Liquid, and Gas the Gas. They were always happy and playful, each with their own special way of being. One day, a curious girl named Mia wandered into their world. She looked around with wide eyes, excited to learn something new. “Why is ice hard, water splashy, and air invisible?” she asked.

Sol stood tall and proud. “I’m solid because my particles stay close together,” he said. “I keep my shape, like rocks and ice.” Liq twirled around joyfully. “I flow because my particles can move a bit, like water or juice!” Gas floated in with a gentle breeze. “I’m free to spread out! My particles zoom around, like air or steam.”

Mia was amazed by her new friends. “Can you change?” she asked eagerly. Gas puffed up with excitement. “We can! Watch!” He cooled down, transforming into rain, and then Liq turned into ice as the air got colder. Mia clapped her hands in wonder. “You’re all so magical!”

The three friends gathered around Mia. “We’re all matter, just in different forms,” they explained. Mia smiled brightly, feeling grateful for the new lesson. “Thanks! Now I understand matter!” she said happily. The three friends waved goodbye, leaving Mia with a magical new understanding of the world around her.
