Wacko and Binki sets off on their adventure to the top of the big Oak tree today. Are you joining them? Here we go...

Early the next morning Wacko and Binki do their final checks to continue on their journey to the great unknown at the top of the tree. "Food, water, backpacks and most important, our map... Check!", says Wacko and Binki excitedly.

After a few hours of hiking up the tree, Binki spots a beautiful, bright red lady bug.

"What do you think she's up to Wacko?" asks Binki curiously.  

"Let's investigate! Maybe she can also join our adventure. The more the merrier." replied Wacko.

They soon arrived at the lady bug's home and learned that her name was Lucy. The three of them had a wonderful conversation about things they didn't know happened on this side of the Oak tree.

"So, what brings you to our side of the tree?" Lucy asked.

"We are on a great adventure to go all the way to the top of the tree. I also met Binki on the way and we are great friends now," said Wacko with a big smile.

"Would you like to join us?"asked Binki. "It would be so fun to have someone with us knowing the way a bit better."

Lucy was very excited and without hesitation she said yes. Unfortunately, Lucy told them that it would be raining soon and they should rather find shelter until the rain passed.

Binki, Lucy and Wacko decided to crawl into a little hole in the tree. They covered up and stayed warm while it was raining and told each other stories of when they were younger. They laughed and laughed. 

As Wacko got to the end of his story, they all faded off to sleep as they could hear the drizzle of the rain outside.
