Once upon a time, in a thick forest, lived a wise old tree. In its sleep, the tree had a fantastic dream. It dreamed of traveling to various biomes. At first, it visited a hot desert, where cacti instead of trees stood tall, conserving water. Then, it found itself in a bustling rainforest, the home of countless animals and plants.

When it woke up, the tree had learned much about the world's diverse environments.
