Once upon a time, there were two twin cubs. They lived in the forest of Sauraha with their parents. They were very happy in the forest. One day, they saw the trees getting closer to them. The next day, they felt the same. For a week, they went to observe the trees. The cubs were getting suspicious as they thought the trees were moving towards their house. They informed their mom and dad. But their mom and dad thought that their cubs were just imagining things, and they were making up the story. But as this went on for many days, finally, Mom and Dad went to investigate the trees. When Mom and Dad saw the trees moving, they rushed back to their home to tell the cubs. When they reached home, the cubs were sleeping. The next morning, when they came out of their home, they saw that the trees had formed a portal. The family went near the portal and hopped inside it. The world was different inside the portal. The world brought them joy, and they stayed there for a couple of hours. When they wanted to go back, the portal had already closed. The cubs were crying because they wanted to go home. The magic tree said, “If you want to go back, you need to survive one year in the desert." Since the mom and dad planned to live in the desert for one year, the cubs followed their steps, but it was no ordinary desert. It was as flaming hot as Venus. They survived on raw bugs and cactus. They stayed together and helped each other in need. After one year, they were able to return home. They were happy, but they promised never to go and explore any strange places.
