As Ann experiences the journey, she discovers that her watch continues to move even if time seems paused, prompting new questions about what “eternal youth” truly means.","The shuttle of everlasting  \nyouth  \nAuthor: Maria Daadosh Illustrator: Shimaa  \nEnglish  \nThe shuttle of everlasting youth  \nWritten by Maria Daadouch.  \nImages by Shaymaa Sobhi. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.

Every morning she would look in the mirror and ask:  \n“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”  \nThen she imagined her mirror replying:  \n“You are, my fair lady, the most beautiful of them all.”One day Ann decided that she wanted a partner in life. She hoped to get married.  \nAnn always kept a bar of chocolate in her pocket for him. Andy would eat only half of the bar and give Ann the other half , until one day, Ann looked at the mirror and had a terrible fright.  \nAnn met a young man named Andy. She loved him so much and he loved her back even more, so they decided to get married. When it rained heavily, they ran with glee to hide from the rain. Whenever he saw her carrying heavy bags, Andy would carry them for her.  \nShe saw a thin wrinkle just below her eyes. She sighed,“Oh goodness, there is a wrinkle under my eyes. I’m growing old. I’ll have to find a way to stay young.”  \nAnn researched and researched until she found the solution to her problem in a magazine. There was an advertisement saying, ‘Do you want to stop time from passing? Welcome aboard our shuttle of everlasting youth.’  \nAnn told Andy “I want to stop time from passing. If Igo on the eternal youth space craft a few hours everyday, I’ll never become old. Quickly tell me what you think?” Andy wanted Ann to always be happy, so he agreed. Ann packed up a few things in her back pack and was ready for the trip. Off she went with her husband to the space station. Could the shuttle of everlasting youth really keep her from ageing?  \nAnn got on the spacecraft and waved to her husband from the window. Soon, the shuttle took off towards outer space. The speed of the shuttle went faster and faster. Then the shuttle’s captain announced:“Welcome aboard dear passengers In case of an emergency, oxygen masks will drop down in front of you. A life jacket is in the pocket under your seat. The space craft is moving at the speed of light. When we move at the speed of light, time stops and we don’t grow old. I assure you all that while on this shuttle; your youth has become eternal.”  \nAnn was so happy to know time had stopped. She finally relaxed. Yet, the arms of her watch still moved around. Her watch didn’t realize that time stopped. Ann looked out of the spacecraft to see the mere darkness of space. Next to the window she saw the sun rays flowing next to the spacecraft. The shuttle didn’t precede the light and it didn’t lag behind. Of course, both the space craft and the sun r","cbCaieQXUIQQHTkT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieQXUIQQHTkT","pdf",541356,19,"English","en",105,"# Ann's decision\n## The mirror and the worry\n## Andy and their journey\n## The captain's promise\n## The watch that keeps moving","[{\"question\":\"Why does Ann want everlasting youth?\",\"answer\":\"Ann notices a wrinkle under her eyes and fears she is growing old, so she searches for a way to stop aging.\"},{\"question\":\"What convinces Ann to board the shuttle?\",\"answer\":\"A magazine advertisement offers “the shuttle of everlasting youth,” promising she can stop time from passing by boarding the spacecraft daily for a few hours.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens during the trip that challenges the captain’s claim?\",\"answer\":\"The captain says time stops, but Ann sees her watch still moving, showing that the concept of stopped time may not be as straightforward as promised.\"}]",1784318089,29,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":26},"the-shuttle-of-everlasting-youth-read-online","",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-shuttle-of-everlasting-youth-read-online/92517/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-22","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":11},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"Why does Ann want everlasting youth?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Ann notices a wrinkle under her eyes and fears she is growing old, so she searches for a way to stop aging.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What convinces Ann to board the shuttle?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"A magazine advertisement offers “the shuttle of everlasting youth,” promising she can stop time from passing by boarding the spacecraft daily for a few hours.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What happens during the trip that challenges the captain’s claim?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"The captain says time stops, but Ann sees her watch still moving, showing that the concept of stopped time may not be as straightforward as promised.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,123,128,131,135],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":121,"slug":122},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":124,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":125,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":127},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":126,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":126,"slug":130},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":133,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":134},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":137},"General","general"]
