A New Adventure Begins
The Glowing Path Ahead
Sam and Mochi are riding their bicycle through a beautiful forest. The trees sway gently, and birds sing cheerful songs from the branches.
Suddenly, they spot a glowing path ahead! At the end stands a giant swirling tunnel made of colorful circles, sparkling stars, and floating letters.
"These letters like to work together!" said Mochi. "Let's follow them!" said Sam.
