Momo failed to hide her enthusiasm for what she wanted to do next. It was clear that she wanted to climb the tall mountain, to see the world from high above the mists.

"Yes, we can go up the mountain," Alex said, causing Momo to jump in joy.

They got out of the garden, and before they could go up the mountain, Alex went to talk with a local.
