Bauti plugs in the glowing laptop. A holographic dragon bursts from the screen! It knocks over a stack of books. Bauti gasps and catches the falling book before it hits the floor.
He tries to type a command to shrink the dragon, but his fingers slip on sticky keys. The beast sneezes fire that singes the rug. Bauti grabs a fire extinguisher spray bottle and sprays water at the smoke.
Bauti attempts to distract the creature by throwing a tennis ball across the room. The dragon snatches the ball mid-air and swallows it whole. It lets out a happy burp that smells like burnt plastic. Bauti sighs.
He opens a new window and drags a virtual pet food icon onto the desktop. He holds his breath as the dragon watches the cursor. With a final click, the dragon transforms into a pile of colorful pixels.
The colorful pixels settle gently onto the keyboard. Bauti lets out a long exhale, wiping sweat from his forehead. The room goes quiet. He checks the code one last time to ensure stability.
The door creaks open and his family walks in. They look impressed by the neat desk and the blinking screen. Bauti smiles broadly and points to the code, explaining how he solved the problem.
His dad gives him a high-five. Bauti grins, feeling proud of his coding project. The laptop hums softly, ready for the fair tomorrow. He knows the dragon is safely tucked away in the code.
Bauti turns off the lights, leaving only the laptop’s gentle glow. He whispers goodnight to his digital creation. Tomorrow will be big, but tonight, he rests easy knowing his work is done.
