Once upon a time, there was a magical kingdom where everything was counted using numbers from zero to ten. The king of the kingdom was Zero and he was a fair ruler who loved his subjects equally. One day, he announced a contest for the bravest and smartest person in the kingdom.

Two brave knights, Three and Four, stepped forward to take on the challenge. They had to travel through the kingdom, facing obstacles and solving puzzles, to reach the castle at the end. Along the way, they met Five friendly dragons, Six mischievous monkeys, Seven singing birds, Eight dancing fairies, Nine talking trees, and Ten wise old owls.

With their combined help, Three and Four were able to solve all of the puzzles and reach the castle. Zero declared them the winners and they were awarded a treasure chest filled with gold and jewels. From that day on, Three and Four were known as the bravest and smartest knights in the kingdom. And the kingdom lived happily ever after.
