Exploring Shapes With Vidi
Kamis, 21 Januari 2010
After flying trough the desert all day, Vidi finally reached a town.
“It’s so hot,” said Vidi.
He, then, took shelter in a mosque.
Vidi noticed the many different shapes of the building.
The floor was a rectangle, the pillars were straight, and there were triangular frames.
The ceiling was curved.
Pelican was calling his friends,
“Let’s cool of in the fountain,” she shouted.
There was a man sitting by the fountain.
“Hello there,” greeted Vidi.
“May I wash my face in here?”
“Please, help yourself,” replied the man
“Are you the keeper of this mosque?” asked Vidi.
“No, I am the King’s servant. My name is Anton,” replied the man. “The King has asked me to solve his dream.”
“Vidi was interested and wanted to help.
“Last night he dreamed of puzzles,” continued Anton. “If I can solve those puzzles, the King will reward me.”
“First, the King dreamed of a long, straight line,” said Anton. “This line is found in the desert and it has many people passing trough it.”
“Let’s go find it,” said Vidi to his friends.
“I have a flying carpet,” said Anton
“We could all ride on it.”
They flew across the desert and saw many lines.
“Look, the cables are straight lines!” said Sparrow.
“So is the oil pipe,” said Pelican, “but no one passes trough them.”
“The camels are also in a line,” noticed Eagle.
Vidi and hos friends saw a long road.
“That’s it!” said Vidi excitedly.
“The road is a straight line with people passing trough it. The answer to the puzzle is a road.”
“That was quite easy,” said Anton.
“Let’s look at the second puzzle.The King dreamed of an object in the shape of rectangle. This rectangle can tell stories.”
“Tell stories?” interrupted Vidi’
“Yes, but it can’t move and it has no sounds,” continued Anton.
They flew to the city.
“The walls and windows of buildings are all rectangle,” said Sparrow, “but they can’t tell stories.”
“Rugs are also rectangles,” said Eagle,
“but they can’t tell stories either.”
Then Vidi and his friends flew down. They saw children reading some books in the park.
“This story is really good,” said a boy.
He was showing his friend a book.
“There is the rectangle that can tell stories,” said Vidi. “The answer to the second puzzle is a book.”
“We have already solved two puzzles,” said Anton. “Here is the third puzzle. The King dreamed of a circle, which can tell me time.”
“That must be a clock,” interrupted Sparrow.
“No,” said Anton. “The circle also indicates the east and the west, and it helps us see.”
They went into a sport shop.
“A compass points to the east and the west,” said Vidi. “And spectacles help us see better. But they can’t tell time! This puzzle is difficult.”
I was gretting dark, and everyone was tired. Soon they went to sleep.
“Wake up, everyone!” shouted Pelican.
“It must be six o’clock because the sun is up.”
“How do you know it’s six o’clock?” asked Vidi.
“Look towards the east,” said Pelican.
“That’s it!” said Vidi. “The sun is the answer to the third puzzle. It shoms direction and time, and provides us with light, to help us see.”
So, the third puzzle was also solved.
“We’re almost done,” said Anton.
“Here is the last puzzle. Listen carefully. There are four triangles that are connected to one another. Beneath these triangles lies a king who has slept for a long time.
They saw lots of triangles.
“The bridge’s posts are triangular,” said Sparrow. “But a king wouldn’t sleep under a bridge.”
“The boat’s sail is also a triangle,” said Eagle. “Perhaps a king would sleep in a boat?”
“But the boat only has one triangle,” replied Pelican.
Soon they reached Egypt, and they saw a very big structure.
“What is that?” asked Vidi.
“It has four walls, and each wall is a triangle.”
“That’s the answer to our last puzzle!” said Anton. “The Egyptian pyramid has a king’s mummy lying inside its structure.”
Anton laughed with relief.
“Our task is over,” said Anton.
“Let’s tell the King. We will be rewarded.”
“What a pity!” said Vidi.
“We can’t go with you. We want to travel around the world and must continue our journey. Goodbye and please send our respects to His Majesty.”
