What’s happening?’A loud booming voice comes from the carpet. ‘Welcome, O, master. I am a magic carpet. ’First they fly high up into the sky and then they land in a jungle. It is hot and wet and it’s raining. ‘It’s raining! Yuck!’Then they fly to the desert. It is very, very hot and dry. ‘It is very, very hot today!’After that they fly to the South Pole. There is lots of ice and snow. It’s freezing. ‘Brrr!’‘Where are we now? I can’t see!’ ‘In the mountains. Can you see me?’‘It’s very foggy.’ Then they fly to a forest.
