mountains.”
    There are three mountains across the frozen field, and they’re all about the same height.
    â€œLet’s keep looking,” Amy suggests. “Maybe we’re missing something.”
    You look again. There’s the hazy, orange sky. There are the three mountains. But wait a minute . . . two of the peaks are topped with snow, but the one in the middle isn’t.
    â€œDo you see that?” you ask, pointing.
    â€œYes,” Amy says, nodding. “There’s no snow on the mountain. And I think those clouds above it aren’t clouds. I think they’re smoke.”
    â€œIt’s a volcano!” the two of you say together.
    â€œThat’s perfect!” you add. “A volcano has fire inside. It’s surrounded by snow. That’s fire and snow in one place.”
    â€œIf there’s water nearby, it will be the perfect spot for the Dojo,” Amy adds.
    â€œLet’s go!” you cry.
    You make your way down the mountain and head across the field. The ground is frozen solid, and your climbing boots help you walk on the frozen ground without sliding.
    As you travel, you pass an old, abandoned construction site littered with boards and a couple of ladders. A few minutes past the construction site, you notice the land is sloping up. The ground ahead looks uneven.
    â€œSlow down, Amy,” you say. “I think we need to be careful up here.”
    It’s a good idea. You’ve come to a ravine, a deep crack in the ground. Looking down, you see that it’s a long drop to the bottom and the ravine seems to stretch across the whole field. The only way to cross it is to jump over it.
    â€œIt’s too risky to jump,” you realize.
    â€œWe could throw a rope to the other side,” Amy suggests.
    â€œOr we could use those ladders from the construction site,” you say. “We could lay them across the ravine and climb over.”
    If you use the rope to get across the ravine, go to page 13.
    If you go back to the construction site and get the ladders, go to page 80.

    â€œI’ll train with you,” you reply. “Thank you, Sensei.”
    Over the next few weeks, Sensei teaches you all about the three elements. Then one day he approaches you.
    â€œYou are ready to continue your journey,” he says. “Look at your map once more. The path you need to take is one you have not seen yet.”
    You study the map carefully, and you notice two things. One is a path that goes through the mountains. The other thing you notice is that the river looks like a path on the map. Maybe the river is the right way to go.
    If you go to the river, go to page 31.
    If you go to the mountains, go to page 69.

    â€œLet’s keep going,” you urge Amy, and she reluctantly agrees.
    You slowly make your way across the field as the snow falls harder and harder. All you can make out is Amy’s blue jacket, but at least you know she’s next to you.
    â€œWe’d better be careful!” Amy calls over the roaring wind. “If we don’t see the ravine, we might fall in!”
    â€œGood point!” you yell back. You cover your eyes with your flipper, straining to see ahead.
    You don’t see the ravine—but you do see a soft, yellow light glowing in the distance. It moves closer and closer to you until finally you see the bearer of the light: Sensei!
    â€œYou should have taken shelter,” he says gently. “I fear this path is too dangerous for you. Come, let me lead you back to Town.”
    Sensei safely leads you through the storm back to Town. In the end, you’re grateful to be safe—but you wish you had taken shelter instead.
