In a small town in France, there lived a little boy full of curiosity and a spirit of adventure. His name was Lucas. Lucas was always longing for the world outside the town. He often watched the birds flying in the sky and imagined that he could go far away as freely as them.
One day, while playing in the forest, Lucas found a huge and beautiful balloon. The balloon had colorful hues, as if the rainbow had been kneaded into it. Lucas ran over in surprise. He felt that the balloon seemed to attract him like magic. When his hand touched the balloon's string, he suddenly had a bold idea - to travel around the world by this balloon.
Lucas found a large basket, tied it under the balloon, and then climbed into the basket carefully. The balloon rose slowly, and Lucas waved goodbye to the people in the town excitedly. As the balloon rose higher and higher, the town became smaller and smaller. Lucas's heart was full of both fear of the unknown and infinite expectation. Looking at the familiar houses and streets getting smaller below, he knew that he was about to start a magical journey.
The balloon carried Lucas over the thick forest. The big trees in the forest were like green giants. Lucas saw small animals shuttling among the trees. There were naughty squirrels jumping around on the branches, and beautiful deer drinking water by the stream. He wanted to say hello to them, but the balloon flew so fast that it flew over the forest in a blink of an eye.
Then, the balloon came over an expanse of vast sea. The sea was so blue, like a huge blue gem. Lucas saw a group of dolphins swimming merrily in the seawater. They sometimes leaped out of the water and sometimes dived into the bottom. Lucas leaned over the basket, his eyes shining with surprise. He shouted loudly as if he wanted to play with the dolphins in this blue world. The dolphins seemed to feel Lucas's enthusiasm too. They swam around the balloon for a while, as if guiding Lucas.
After flying over the sea, the balloon came to a hot desert. The desert was full of golden sand, shining dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Lucas saw a camel caravan walking slowly in the desert. The camels were carrying all kinds of goods on their backs, and the merchants were wearing traditional clothes. Their figures looked extremely small in the desert. Lucas was attracted by this magnificent scene. He wanted to go down and walk in the desert with them, to feel the scalding sand and the blazing sun. But the balloon seemed to have its own idea and continued to carry Lucas forward.
The balloon then took Lucas to a snow - covered mountain that towered into the clouds. The peaks of the snow - covered mountain were covered with white snow and shone dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Lucas felt cold and quickly wrapped the blanket he brought tightly around himself. Looking at the magnificent snow - covered mountain in front of him, his heart was full of awe. The glaciers on the mountain were like huge blue crystals. Lucas had never seen such a beautiful yet dangerous place. The balloon circled around the snow - covered mountain for a while. Lucas's face was flushed by the cold wind, but his eyes never left this white world.
Finally, the balloon took Lucas back to his town. The town was still as warm as ever, and people were very happy to see Lucas return safely. Lucas got down from the balloon basket, and his heart was full of memories of this journey. He knew that this around - the - world journey by the dream balloon would become the most precious wealth in his life. It also made his spirit of adventure stronger, and he was looking forward to the next adventure.
