Introduction:

Just in case you haven’t read about Miss Jones before, I would like you to meet her. Miss Jones is a school teacher. She teaches a class of students who are seven to eight years old.

She is a great teacher. She is kind with her students. She also gives them lots of help when they need it.

Her students love her. But what they love most about her is her stories. Miss Jones likes to tell stories to her class. They are stories about what happened in history.

She doesn’t just tell a story, she acts it out. She tells them everything. Her stories are so exciting, it is almost as if she was there!

And with the help of her watch, maybe she was!

and the David

Miss Jones sat at the table. She was eating her lunch in the teacher's lunchroom. She was also looking at a book of art. She turned the page. There was a picture in front of her.

She quickly sat behind her desk. She opened the book and looked at the picture.

Then she turned her watch to the inside of her wrist. She opened it up.

Inside it wasn't a watch at all. It was a time machine.

Miss Jones held her watch over the picture.

My, my. Make time fly, she said.

The edges of the paper moved. A wind swirled in the classroom.

Miss Jones looked at the picture in the book.

She reached toward the picture, but she didn't touch it. Instead her hand went right into the picture.

Then her arm.

Then her shoulder.

Then her head.

Suddenly nothing was left except her shoes on the floor!

Miss Jones felt dizzy. She closed her eyes.

When she opened them she was standing on a stone floor. The wind was still blowing. But this wind was blowing across a green valley. The stone floor turned out to be a stone path in a garden.

Miss Jones looked down. She was wearing a
