Alers, Shendi, Matias, and Indrit walked into the cafeteria, chatting excitedly about their morning lessons. As they turned the corner, their eyes widened in unison. A big, colorful poster caught their attention, advertising the newest addition to the cafeteria menu: Blood Oranges! "Wow, have you guys seen this new fruit? It looks so cool!" Alers exclaimed, tugging on Shendi's arm. "I know, right? I heard it's called Blood Orange. Let's try it!" Shendi replied, already racing toward the fruit stand. The friends gathered around the vendor, mesmerized by the deep red color of the oranges. "Did you know that Blood Oranges get their color from a pigment called anthocyanin?" the vendor asked, handing each of them a slice. The friends nodded enthusiastically, taking their first bites. The tart flavor and burst of juice surprised them. "Wow, this is amazing!" Matias said, his eyes sparkling. Indrit, who had been observing the oranges carefully, asked, "How do the farmers make sure the oranges turn out red?" The vendor smiled. "Well, it's a combination of factors. The soil, climate, and amount of sunlight all play a role. Blood Oranges are usually grown in regions with warm winters and cool summers, which helps bring out the anthocyanin." As they savored their snack, the friends discussed the wonders of science and nature. They began to imagine what other secrets the natural world held, and how they could uncover them. The discovery of the Blood Oranges had sparked a new sense of curiosity within them, and they couldn't wait for their next adventure together.

As they munched on the juicy Blood Oranges, Lily, Matias, and Indrit felt a sudden tingling sensation in their tummies. At first, they thought it was just the sweet and tangy taste that was making their mouths water, but soon they realized it was something more. "Uh-oh, guys! I think I need to go to the toilet... NOW!" Matias exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise. "Me too! What's going on?!" Indrit asked, her face scrunched up in concern. Lily giggled. "I think it's the Blood Oranges! Did you know that oranges are high in water content and fiber? That's why we're feeling this way!" Matias and Indrit looked at each other, then back at Lily. "Whoa, you're right! Our bodies are telling us it's time to flush out the extra water and fiber!" Matias said, making a dash for the bathroom. As they rushed to the toilet, they learned that the Blood Oranges were not only yummy but also helped their bodies function properly. It was a magical and messy adventure, but in the end, they all agreed: it was a bathroom break they would never forget!

Alers, Shendi, and their friends gathered around the giant, ancient tree, looking worried. "We need to find a way to stop this from happening. Does anyone have any ideas?" Alers asked, her brow furrowed. The Blood Oranges were not only making the entire forest reek of citrus, but they were also making the plants and animals sick. Shendi's eyes lit up. "I think I know! Let's pour the blood out of the oranges into that 21-blood bucket collection over there!" Everyone's eyes followed hers to the giant, old-fashioned buckets lined up nearby. The friends quickly got to work. As they poured the blood out of the oranges, the air began to clear, and the plants started to perk up. "Wow, it's working!" exclaimed Alers. Shendi beamed with pride. "I knew it would! Did you know that oranges are a type of fruit that grows on trees? And did you know that citrus fruits like oranges have special juice inside that can be good for us, but bad for some plants?" As they continued to work, the friends chatted about all sorts of cool facts. They learned that plants need air, water, and sunlight to grow, just like they do. And they discovered that mixing different materials, like the blood and the oranges, can sometimes create unexpected problems. With the Blood Oranges finally under control, the friends high-fived each other, grinning from ear to ear. They had solved the problem, and they had learned a lot along the way. As they walked back to their village, Alers turned to Shendi and said, "You're a genius, Shendi! We make a pretty awesome team!"

Matias, Indrit, and their friends were so excited to finally enjoy their Blood Oranges. They had worked together to figure out why the oranges were turning everything they touched red, and now they had a plan to fix the problem. "Ready, set, pour!" shouted Matias, as they all tilted the oranges upside down and poured out the red juice. The friends cheered as the blood-like liquid flowed out of the oranges and into the special containers they had prepared. As they finished, Indrit exclaimed, "Wow, we did it! We turned the Blood Oranges back into regular oranges!" The friends high-fived each other, thrilled that their hard work and math skills had paid off. Matias held up an orange and said, "You know, oranges are not only delicious, but they're also an excellent source of vitamin C, which is important for keeping our immune systems strong." His friends nodded, taking in this new fact. Indrit took a bite of his orange and smiled. "Mmm...this tastes even better knowing we solved the mystery and worked together as a team!" The friends agreed, savoring their oranges and feeling proud of themselves. "Yes! It worked! We can finally enjoy our Blood Oranges in peace!" Matias cheered. "That was a close call! But we worked together and solved the problem," Indrit said, grinning. Together, the friends celebrated their success, knowing that their combined efforts in math, science, and teamwork had led to this delicious victory. And as they sat under the warm sun, munching on their oranges, they couldn't wait for their next adventure together!

Alers, Shendi, and their friends sat in a circle, surrounded by the juicy Blood Oranges they had rescued from the mysterious forest. They were all smiling, still excited about their thrilling adventure. "I'm glad we figured out what was going on," Alers said, "We learned that sometimes we need to think outside the box to solve a problem." "And we learned the importance of teamwork and communication!" Shendi added, her eyes sparkling. The friends nodded in agreement. They had worked together, using their unique skills to break the spell that had turned the Blood Oranges into balls of fire. "You know, did you guys realize that we used geometry to find the hidden pattern in the forest?" Jax asked, his eyes wide with excitement. "Wow, that's right!" Lily exclaimed. "We used the concept of angles and shapes to figure out the secret path!" The friends started discussing how they had applied math and science to solve the mystery. They talked about the different types of rocks they had found, and how they had used their observation skills to identify them. As they reflected on their adventure, they realized that they had learned something even more important – the value of perseverance and friendship. They had worked together, supported each other, and believed in themselves. "I'm so grateful for our friendship," Shendi said, smiling at her friends. "We make an amazing team!" The friends cheered in agreement, holding up their Blood Oranges in a toast to their magical adventure and the lessons they had learned.
