Fantasy World Story
HELLO,
I'M FREDDY
WONDERMAN
Once upon a time, there was a lonely soldier who lived in a faraway castle. He spent his days dreaming of having plenty of friends who would make him happy. Until, one fateful day, the King and Queen told him to scour the universe in search of the best toy land ever; a place where he could invite his future friends over.
After travelling through many fantastical realms and planets, the toy solider finally stumbled upon a world replete with fun games, activities and the best toys the universe has to offer. He named it "Fantasy World."
Soon enough, children from all walks of life descended upon this wonderful world to play with the toy solider and become the friends he had always wished for. They lived happily ever after.
