On a sunny afternoon, Jake was wandering through the classroom library. He was looking for something interesting to read when he stumbled upon a mysterious book tucked away in the back. The book had no title, but it was covered in dust and looked very old. Jake's curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to open the book. As soon as he opened it, a bright light engulfed him, and he felt himself being pulled into the pages. In a blink of an eye, Jake found himself standing in a strange, new world. He looked around in awe, wondering where he was.

The talking tree then pointed Jake towards a path that would lead him to his first lesson. With a wave of its branches, Elder Bark wished Jake good luck.
