The Magic Book

The Magic Book

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Maya who loved to read. She had a big collection of books in her room, and she read them every day. She liked all kinds of books, but her favorite ones were the ones that had magic and adventure in them. She wished she could have a magic book of her own, that could take her to different worlds and times.

One day, she went to the library with her mother. She browsed through the shelves, looking for a new book to read. She saw many interesting books, but none of them caught her eye. She was about to give up, when she noticed a book that was hidden behind some other books. She pulled it out and looked at the cover.

It was a hardcover book, with a dark blue cover and gold letters. It had no title or author, but it had a picture of a golden key and a lock. It looked very old and mysterious. Maya felt a strange attraction to the book. She opened it and saw that it had no words, but only blank pages.

What kind of book it was. She flipped through the pages, hoping to find something. She reached the last page and saw that it had a small inscription on the bottom. It said:

"This book belongs to those who seek magic and adventure. To unlock its secrets, you need to say the magic word."

Maya was intrigued by the inscription. She wondered what the magic word was. She tried to guess, but nothing happened. She thought of all the words she knew that had something to do with magic, like "abracadabra", "hocus pocus", and "alakazam", but none of them worked.

She was about to close the book, when she had an idea. She remembered that the cover had a picture of a key and a lock. Maybe the magic word was related to that. She thought of all the words she knew that had something to do with keys and locks, like "open", "unlock", "release", but none of them worked either.

She was about to give up, when she had another idea. She remembered that the book had no title or author, but only gold letters on the cover. Maybe the magic word was hidden in those letters. She looked at them carefully and tried to make sense of them.

She noticed that there were 26 letters on the cover, one for each letter of the alphabet. She wondered if there was a pattern or a code in them. She tried to rearrange them in different ways, but nothing made sense.

She was about to close the book again, when she had one last idea. She remembered that the book had no words, but only blank pages. Maybe the magic word was not written in any language, but in symbols or pictures. She looked at the blank pages again and tried to imagine what they could mean.

She noticed that there were 100 pages in the book, each with a different number on the top right corner. She wondered if there was a meaning or a message in those numbers. 

Maybe the magic word was not a word at all, but a number. A number that could unlock the book and its secrets.

She looked at the numbers on the pages again and tried to find a connection between them. She noticed that they were not random numbers, but they followed a sequence or a pattern. A sequence or a pattern that she recognized from her math class.

She realized that they were Fibonacci numbers, numbers that are formed by adding the previous two numbers together. For example, 

0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 2, 1 + 2 = 3, 2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 5 = 8, and so on. The first page had the number 0 on it, the second page had the number 1 on it too, the third page had the number 1 on it, the fourth page had the number 2 on it, and so on until the hundredth page.

She wondered what would happen if she added all those numbers together. Maybe that would give her the magic number that would unlock the book.

She took out her calculator and started to add all those numbers together.

She added 0 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + ... + 218922995834555169026

She got an answer of

573147844013817084100

She looked at this number and felt a surge of excitement.

She said this number out loud:

"Five hundred seventy-three billion one hundred forty-seven million eight hundred forty-four thousand thirteen eight hundred seventeen thousand eighty-four one hundred."

As soon as she said this number, something amazing happened.The book glowed with a bright light and opened by itself.

The blank pages turned into colorful pages with words and pictures.The words and pictures told stories of magic and adventure.

Stories of dragons and fairies, of wizards and witches, of heroes and villains, of lands and times that Maya had never seen or heard of before.

Maya was amazed by the book. She felt a wave of joy and wonder.

She had found the magic word. She had unlocked the magic book.She had entered a world of magic and adventure.

She smiled and said,

"Wow."

The end.
