♦ 1^st Part - 2^nd Part ⇒

Here is a litt­le sto­ry for you guys, with pic­tures and text. The blue text in speech bubbles is what our litt­le prot­ago­nist is say­ing and thin­king, and the black text is the narrator’s voice, which is tel­ling what we’­re see­ing. Try to just go at it and com­pre­hend / trans­la­te what the sto­ry is about!

Abo­ve each pic­tu­re is a small audio play­er but­ton, with which you can lis­ten to every picture’s text.
