At the edge of the old orchard, under a warm blanket of leaves, Zeno tapped three acorns in a row.

Zeno ran home with no acorn prize, but with a secret song bubbling in his chest. He woke the den and shared it until everyone was laughing-howl loud. Can you find the bright circle that heard Zeno’s first aroooo?
