    In the forest, Xiao Mao learned survival skills and grew a deeper love for nature. Yet, it yearned to see an even broader world.

    Facing the enormity of the sea alone, Xiao Mao felt fear and loneliness. But its curiosity gave it courage to start a sea voyage.

    Xiao Mao found a hard coconut shell for a new home and learned to use the island's resources. It was living a life full of novelty and fun.
