Once upon a time, in a hot and sunny kingdom by the ocean, there was a playa named Pablo. Pablo loved to play and explore, and one day he decided to go on an adventure to find the biggest and most beautiful oasis in all the land.

As Pablo set out on his journey, he soon came upon a moat that surrounded the kingdom. Not one to be deterred, Pablo climbed up onto his trusty steed, a giant neck, and began to cross the moat. The neck, being very narrow, was a bit wobbly, but with a little effort, Pablo made it safely to the other side.

Next, Pablo found himself at the mouth of a great meandering river that led to the ocean. With a skip in his step and a song in his heart, Pablo followed the river as it wound its way through the kingdom.

Finally, after what seemed like hours of walking, Pablo came to a narrows where the river flowed into a beautiful oasis. There, he found crystal-clear pools of water surrounded by lush green trees and fragrant flowers. Pablo was overjoyed, and he spent the rest of the day splashing in the water and exploring the oasis.

As the sun began to set, Pablo realized it was time to head back to the kingdom. So, he climbed back onto his trusty neck and made his way back across the moat.

From that day on, Pablo told all the other kids in the kingdom about the wonderful oasis he had found, and many of them went on their own adventures to see it for themselves. And even though Pablo never found a bigger or more beautiful oasis, he was always happy knowing that he was the first to discover it.
