Welcome, Time Traveler!
It is your birthday today,
and your gift is a ride
in the Time machine!
You have reached another place
or time. Before you start,
I must warn you!

If you stay too long,
you won’t be able to come back.
Another thing...You must bring back a
report about what you see.
Jump aboard and off you go!
