We live in the human world, but is this the only world there is?

The second conditional

What if I told you that ours is just one world, and that there are many other worlds just like ours?

Won't your problems look tinier if they are?

There was a time when he was the best doctor in town.

Tending to other people's wounds is what he lived for.

But slowly, as he became richer, Jake hired other doctors and took an early retirement.

And now, well, he's just a rich man complaining about everything in his life.

But Jake always had a strange feeling, like someone was watching him.

Um, sire, I can add one more marshmallow if you like.

Jake would have prodded more, but you see, he had important things to do, like… Why is this so sweet?

Why can't my life be easy even for a second?

One day, Jake and his friends decided to go for a trip.

They had planned to visit an island, but while in the boat, something happened and their ship was turned to another island far away.

As long as we leave before the high tide, we should be fine.

The friends decided to play some games, but Jake suddenly felt too tired to do anything, and he decided to go sleep under a tree.

And he slept like he had never slept before.

I mean, who even chose this island in the first place?

Melly was the elf maiden from the Realm of Elves.

I heard you say that you were a lifesaver.

My realm is gripped with a curse, and I don't know what to do.

I'm a man of science, and I don't believe in curses.

Jake was intrigued with this idea of an elf town.

As Jake saw the boat, he was sure he was imagining things.

For it was the most exquisite boat with the most extraordinary people in it.

They wore gorgeous suits and beautiful gowns.

Looks like everybody in every other world is better than I am.

Thinking that the town must be around the stream, Jake boarded the boat and sat down.

But before Jake could realize, the boat was flying in the air.

Then taking soft turns, it entered what seemed like a fissure in the sky.

It was the most beautiful place he had ever seen.

My town was once the most beautiful town in the entire realm.

Jake heaved a determined sigh and asked Melly to take him to the townspeople.

As he examined the elves one house after another, he found that they all were suffering from multiple ailments.

Hmm, I need to examine the fields and the crops.

I want to see what the elves have been eating and where it is coming from.

Jake was then taken to the farms and the storages.

He picked up a few grains and told Melly that he needed a lab to work in.

The elves were not only intelligent beings, but also resourceful.
