● Three secrets
A girl gets tired of playing at home and dreams that she is playing in her room with her friends. Then something fluffy pops out of one of her friends' mouth. When she coughs, the fluffy thing flies far away and sticks to her other friends. The room became more and more full of fluff... When the girl woke up from her dream, her mum explained 'dense', 'close' and 'sealed' to her according to her dream. This story shows why you have to be careful with three densely packed rooms.
