Every afternoon, Nico tapped each paving block—tap, tap, tap—before setting it into the little shop corner. He wanted the straightest path in town, one neat square at a time.
Until one day, he invented Cone-Hop Parade. “Step on gray, hop on red!” he called, and Sella came running, her apron pocket flapping. Because of that, she spotted a wobbly flowerpot on the shop step. Because of that, Nico’s pretend parade became a real road: cones moved, tools clinked, bricks scooted, and the whole sidewalk made a safe zigzag for everyone.
At last, Sella pointed ahead and shouted, “Parade open!” Feet pattered over the new path, sharing Nico’s giant happy feeling from cone to cone. Can you find the first block that might go tap, tap, tap?
