Hello, young reader. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live closer to the ground than normal people do? To have everything in your world lower and underground than usual, from your houses and furniture to your cars and bikes? To learn to adapt to your environment, and to be happy and content for living so close to the ground?
Well, that is exactly how the people of Lower lived. Lower was a faraway land where a community of small people had a special bond with the earth. They loved to plant and harvest crops, to dig and build tunnels, to explore and discover new things. They believed that the earth was their friend and home, and so they respected and cared for it passionately.
But not all the people of Lower were the same. A new generation of Lower kids were a little different from their parents, who were especially curious and adventurous and liked to play and learn in the fields and forests, in the deserts and rivers, and in the jungles and tunnels. They were eager to make friends with the animals and insects, and to create and invent new games and toys. They had a lot of fun and joy in their everyday lives.
But one day, a group of these kids went on a special expedition to see what was beyond their world and what was up in the sky. They had heard stories from their elders about the stars and the moon, the clouds and the rainbow, but they had never seen them for themselves due to being so far away from them. They chose a date for their trip and that day they packed some food and water, some tools and ropes, some books and maps; some even took their bikes and helmets, as well as backpacks and jackets. After saying goodbye to their parents and friends, they set off on their long adventure to explore the different environments of the earth.
This is the story of their journey, their discoveries, their challenges, their friendships, their lessons, and their dreams. This is the story of Lower: The Land of Low People. While it's designed to be engaging, coherent, humorous, and captivating to you, dear young reader, the tale also imparts valuable lessons. So, sit back and ENJOY!
