Twinkle the star loved shining in the night sky, but he always wondered what it would be like to go on an adventure. So, one evening, he packed his red backpack, laced up his sneakers, and leapt from the sky! He landed on a soft, glowing path in a magical forest filled with twinkling flowers and fireflies. “Wow! This is going to be the best adventure ever!” Twinkle said, adjusting his cap. But where should he go first?

- Twinkle gets lost in the forest—how will he find his way back to the sky?
