Once upon a time, at the very edge of the sleepy town of Elderwood, there stood an old, ivy-covered mansion known as Moonlight Manor. By day, it looked quiet and abandoned, but at night, when the moon rose high and the stars twinkled, something truly magical happened.

Only children could see it. One such child was Lila, a curious girl who loved sneaking out of her window to gaze at the manor’s silver gates. One night, as the clock struck midnight, she saw the gate swing open on its own.

“Come inside,” whispered a glowing moth. “The zoo is waking up.”

A Nighttime Quest Through Enchanted Grounds

With Oscar as her guide, Lila journeyed through the zoo’s secret paths. She tiptoed past the snoring cloud lions, crossed the floating lily pads of the koi lagoon, and played a game of riddles with the mirror monkeys.

Each animal offered clues to where the Moonstone might be. Finally, deep inside the Maze of Whispers, guarded by a mischievous chameleon named Chomp, Lila spotted something glowing beneath a crystal tree. “That’s it!” she cried. “The Moonstone!”

But the maze began to shift and close. Thinking quickly, Lila offered Chomp her flashlight, a treasure to her, in exchange for the path out. Chomp blinked. “A fair trade,” he said, letting her go.
