Description

David has just moved into a new house, and while the adults bustle about unpacking, he discovers an astonishing sight in the backyard—a towering, mist‑clad mountain that seems to smile back at him. As he watches, a soft voice whispers an invitation to climb, filling him with both excitement and a flutter of nerves. The mountain feels alive, its peak brushing the stars, and David can’t help but wonder what secrets lie hidden on its slopes.

Balancing his chores with the promise of adventure, David asks his family for permission to explore the mysterious peak the next day. Their cautious responses hint at danger, yet also a lingering curiosity that mirrors his own. With a mix of bravery and imagination, he prepares to step through the hedge and begin a climb that may reveal wonders far beyond any ordinary backyard trek.
