    Among its inhabitants was a curious young boy, Eli, known for his love for words. One day, Eli heard an echoing 'hello' that seemed to hold an unusual power.

    Eli's first stop was the wise old owl, Oliver, who lived atop the highest tree in the Whispering Woods. Eli hoped Oliver could shed some light on his quest.

    In the town of Echo, Eli met a girl, Ava, who had a beautiful echo to her 'hello'. She taught Eli that every 'hello' should carry a piece of one's heart.
