    The device was unlike anything he'd seen before. It was shiny, metallic, and had a variety of buttons and levers. Curiosity piqued, Momo pressed a button and in an instant, was transported to a different era.

    However, the futuristic world was more complex than Momo had anticipated. The machines were difficult to understand, and the people were too busy to notice a small monkey. Momo felt lost and overwhelmed.
