The Story

Once upon a time, in a colorful forest filled with talking animals, there was a magic box that could only be opened by brave adventurers. This box had the power to show you a number to discover!

To open it, you had to say the magic words:

“Open, Sesame! Show me a number!”

As soon as the words were spoken, the box would spring open and reveal a number, like 1, 2, 3… all the way up to 10!
