One morning, Noah woke up and saw something amazing outside his window. A giant spaceship hovered over their backyard! A beam of light shot down from the ship, and standing in the light was a boy in a shiny suit. Noah ran outside as fast as his cheetah-speed legs could carry him.
“Hello!” said the boy. “I’m Prince Cosmo. Do you know where I can find the smartest person on this planet?”
Noah thought for a second. “My mom reads lots of stories. Maybe she can help!”
Prince Cosmo followed Noah inside. Mom was making breakfast and looked surprised to see a prince in their kitchen. Noah explained that Prince Cosmo needed help.
“My spaceship runs on special space crystals,” Prince Cosmo explained, “and my homework is to learn how they work. But I can’t figure it out!”
“Homework?” Noah asked.
Prince Cosmo nodded sadly. “Even princes have homework.”
“We can help you!” Noah said. He loved learning about space.
Mom smiled. “Let’s go to the library, my little helpers. It’s like a treasure chest full of answers!”
At the library, they found a book about space crystals. It had big words and complicated pictures. Prince Cosmo frowned. Noah patted his arm.
“Don’t worry,” Noah whispered. “We’ll figure it out together.”
They spent the afternoon reading. Mom helped them understand the tricky parts. They learned that space crystals had tiny, invisible gears inside! Finally, Prince Cosmo understood.
“This is amazing!” Prince Cosmo exclaimed. “My teacher will be so impressed.” He checked his wristwatch, which looked a lot like a spaceship. “Oh no! I have to go. Thank you for your help!”
Just like that, Prince Cosmo zoomed back up to his ship in a beam of light.
“That was exciting!” Noah said, still buzzing from the adventure.
“It reminds me,” Mom said, winking, “that even princes need a little help with homework sometimes.”
That night, Noah told his mom all about the spaceship and the prince. He even dreamed about flying through space, powered by sparkling crystals.
The next day, a small package arrived for Noah. Inside was a thank-you note from Prince Cosmo and a picture of the prince standing in front of his spaceship.
“Thank you for helping me with my homework!” the note read. “I got an A+!”
Noah smiled. He learned that even though homework could be tricky, it was always better – and more fun – with a little help from friends and family.
