The state of Massachusetts, affectionately known as MA by its cool, hip residents, is a magical land that sits comfortably on the northeastern part of America. This land, teeming with history and cranberries, can flip through the seasons like a young wizard flips through spellbooks. Oh, and speaking of wizards, here lives a rather peculiar, glassy-eyed chap named Marvin, the Marvellous Glass Wizard of MA. Now, the children of Massachusetts, or Massa-kiddos as Marvin likes to call them, have an unusual hobby; they are wizards-in-training under Marvin, mastering the art of glasswork. Just like how you might play soccer or build a Lego castle, these kids melt, mold, and marvel at glass. Don’t worry, they don't have a chance to burn their fingers as Marvin's wizardry always takes care of that! Marvin, a towering figure with a long, twisty beard that shimmered like spun glass, has a workshop that's like a kaleidoscope of colors. It twinkles with twinkling fairy lights and is filled with the soft chime of glass-on-glass echoing through the air. The Massa-kiddos look like little glass elves, wearing goggles bigger than their faces and aprons that sweep the floor. And oh boy, the laughter that rings out when Marvin magically turns a blob of molten glass into something amusing! A glass banana, a glass hot dog, or even a glass parrot wearing a top hat! The kids cheer, their eyes sparkling brighter than the glass creations themselves. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear glass-beards, bring joy to kids, and create glass hot dogs in the magical land of MA.
