Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, did you read that summary of "The Phantom Tollbooth" on that website? It sounds like such a weird and cool story!

Jaeyi: Yeah, I did! A tollbooth just appearing in Milo's room? And then he drives through it to a place called the Lands Beyond? That's crazy!

Jaegyum: I know, right? And the places he visits sound so interesting, like Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. A city obsessed with words and another with numbers!

Jaeyi: And the characters! The Humbug, and Tock the Watchdog with a clock body! They seem like they would be really fun to go on an adventure with.

Jaegyum: Definitely. It said that Milo was bored with everything before, but then he gets to help rescue Rhyme and Reason and learns how important words and numbers are.

Jaeyi: It's like his whole perspective on learning changes because he actually sees how they're used in a real, though imaginary, world.

Jaegyum: Exactly! I wish a phantom tollbooth would show up in our room. Imagine the places we could go!

Jaeyi: We could visit the Sea of Knowledge and maybe even argue with the Soundkeeper in the Valley of Sound!

Jaegyum: Or eat subtraction sandwiches that make you hungrier the more you eat! This story sounds so much more exciting than our homework.

Jaeyi: Tell me about it! Maybe we should ask Mom if we can read the actual book. The summary was great, but I bet the full story is even better.

Jaegyum: Good idea! Let's go ask her now!
