Chapter One

The Busy City

A long time ago, in a land far, far away, there was a city unlike any other city, full of life and laughter, and always buzzing with activity. The air was always filled with the sounds of people talking, hammers clinking, animals moving about, and children’s cheerful shouts as they ran through the streets. This city was not just ordinary—it was home to the descendants of Adam and Eve, the first people. And just like their ancestors, the people of the city were eager to make their world better.

The city was beautiful. Its streets were lined with homes built from smooth stones, and gardens full of colorful flowers bloomed in every corner. Tall trees provided cool shade during the warm days, and rivers flowed gently through the city, bringing fresh water to everyone. The people worked hard to keep the city running smoothly, and their efforts made the city grow bigger and better each day.

Every morning, as the sun rose over the hills, the city would come alive with activity. The sound of people chatting and laughing filled the streets. Birds chirped from the trees, and children’s laughter echoed as they played games, racing through the market square. The grown-ups were always busy, working together to make the city a wonderful place to live.

One of the most special things about the city was that everyone spoke the same language. It didn’t matter if you were a farmer, a builder, or a baker—every single person could understand one another perfectly. When someone needed help, all they had to do was ask, and people would gather to lend a hand. Whether it was building a new home or planting seeds in the fields, the people of the city did everything together.

Take the builders, for example. They worked with big, smooth stones and shiny tools to create strong houses and tall buildings. But they didn’t work alone! The farmers, who grew the fruits and vegetables, brought them food to eat, and the weavers, who made clothes, made sure the builders had strong cloth to cover their heads from the hot sun. The whole city was connected, like one big family.

When it was time for the markets to open, the streets became even busier. Merchants set up colorful stalls filled with all sorts of goods—ripe oranges, warm loaves of bread, and shiny tools for the builders. People came from every corner of the city to trade and talk. It was the perfect time for everyone to catch up, share stories, and talk about new ideas for the city.

The city wasn’t just a place to live; it was a city full of big dreams. People had grand ideas about what they could accomplish together. And because they all spoke the same language, their plans came to life quickly. They had already built sturdy homes and beautiful gardens, but now they wanted to do something even greater—something that the world would never forget.

At night, after a busy day of working and helping one another, the people of the city would gather around the city’s open spaces. They would sit beneath the stars, sharing stories of their ancestors, Adam and Eve. They spoke of how the first people had lived in a beautiful garden called Eden, where everything was perfect. The people of the city believed that if they worked hard together, they could create their own version of Eden right there in their city.

“We can do great things,” they would say to one another as they looked up at the stars. “If we stay united, there’s nothing we can’t build.”

And so, the people of the city grew more and more excited about what they could create next. They wanted to build a city that was bigger and taller than any other—a city so great that it would reach the skies. They dreamed of a tower so tall that its top would touch the heavens. This tower would show the world how strong they were when they worked together. It would be a symbol of their unity, their hard work, and their dreams.

The people of the city had no idea just how much their lives were about to change. They didn’t know that their plan to build the tallest tower ever would set them on an incredible adventure—a journey that would shape the future of their city and the world beyond.

But for now, as the sun set and the city of the city settled into the peaceful quiet of night, all anyone could think about was the big dream that lay ahead—the dream of building something amazing, something grand. And as they fell asleep, the people of the city were united in their belief: together, they could do anything.
