Ezra sits cross-legged under the big leafy tree, holding an open book in his lap and smiling contentedly. He is surrounded by bright green grass with soft gray fog swirling gently around the edges of the meadow. In the background, a misty fog-covered meadow with mossy logs and a winding dirt path disappearing into gentle haze.

Ezra sat under his big, leafy tree. The grass was soft. The air was cool. He opened his book and smiled. "What a good day to read," he said.

Frog hops toward Ezra, who looks up from his book with wide, curious eyes, still sitting under the big leafy tree. Frog is mid-hop with legs stretched out, landing on the bright green grass. In the background, swirling gray fog wraps around the meadow like cotton candy, with the winding dirt path visible behind Frog.

Hop, hop, hop! A little frog jumped out of the fog. "Hello!" said the frog. "I am looking for a friend. Will you come jog with me through the fog?"

Ezra jogs happily alongside Frog down the winding dirt path, his arms swinging and a big grin on his face. Frog hops beside him in mid-leap, both moving into the swirling gray fog. In the background, the big leafy tree stands behind them as the dirt path curves ahead into thick, soft fog with bright green grass on either side.

Ezra put down his book. "A jog in the fog?" he said. "That sounds fun!" He jumped up. And off they went! Jog, jog, jog through the fog, fog, fog!

Dog bounds joyfully toward Ezra and Frog on the winding dirt path, tail wagging high, tongue out and happy. Ezra bends down with open arms to greet Dog while Frog sits on the path beside him. In the background, soft gray fog swirls around mossy logs and bright green grass along the edges of the path.

"Woof! Woof!" Who was that? A happy dog ran up to them. The dog wagged her tail—swish, swish, swish! "Can I jog with you?" asked the dog. "Yes!" said Ezra. "Come jog in the fog!"

Ezra jogs down the winding dirt path with Dog trotting beside him and Frog hopping alongside, all three moving together in a happy line. Tiny wildflowers dot the bright green grass near the path. In the background, thick swirling gray fog fills the meadow, with faint outlines of mossy logs barely visible in the mist.

Jog, jog, jog through the fog, fog, fog! Ezra jogged. Frog hopped. Dog ran. Swish, swish went Dog's tail. Hop, hop went Frog's legs. The fog felt cool and smelled like wet flowers.

Hog peeks out from behind a mossy log with a big silly grin, one front hoof raised playfully. Ezra, Frog, and Dog stand on the dirt path looking at Hog with delighted expressions. In the background, gray fog drifts thickly through the meadow, with bright green grass and more mossy logs scattered about.

"Oink! Oink!" Who was that? A silly hog popped out from behind a mossy log. The hog did a wiggle. The hog did a jiggle. "Can I jog with you?" asked the hog. "Yes!" said Ezra. "Come jog in the fog!"

Wiggly Log rocks and bounces on the dirt path, with little motion lines around it showing its dance. Ezra, Frog, Dog, and Hog all stand together staring at Wiggly Log with wide, amazed eyes and open mouths. In the background, swirling gray fog fills the meadow, with bright green grass on both sides of the winding dirt path.

Jog, jog, jog through the fog, fog, fog! But wait—what was that? A big log sat on the path. It was bumpy and brown. Then suddenly… the log wiggled! The log jiggled! The log began to DANCE!

Ezra dances with arms in the air, wiggling his whole body. Frog jiggles nearby, Dog spins in a circle with tail flying, Hog hops with all four hooves off the ground, and Wiggly Log bounces on the dirt path. Everyone looks joyful and silly. In the background, soft gray fog swirls around the bright green meadow, with tiny wildflowers peeking through the grass.

"A dancing log!" laughed Ezra. They all danced with the wiggly log. Ezra wiggled. Frog jiggled. Dog did a spin. Hog did a hop. The wiggly log bounced and bounced! Can you dance like the log?

Ezra stands on the dirt path surrounded by very thick gray fog, squinting and holding one hand above his eyes to peer ahead. Frog sits on his shoulder looking worried, Dog presses close to Ezra's leg, and Hog huddles nearby. Wiggly Log is still beside them on the path. In the background, nothing but dense, thick swirling gray fog in every direction, the path barely visible underfoot.

But then the fog got thick. Very, very thick. Ezra could not see the path. Dog could not see the tree. "Oh no," said Frog. "Which way is home?" Everyone looked around. Everything was gray and misty.

Ezra kneels down in front of the wooden sign, pointing at the words on it and smiling with relief. Frog, Dog, Hog, and Wiggly Log all crowd behind Ezra, peering over his shoulder at the sign with hopeful faces. In the background, thick gray fog begins to thin slightly, with a faint hint of the winding dirt path stretching in the direction the sign's arrow points.

Ezra thought and thought. "I know!" he said. "I can read!" He looked very carefully through the fog. And there it was—a little wooden sign! Ezra read the words: "Home → This Way." "Follow me!" said Ezra.

Ezra leads the group jogging joyfully down the winding dirt path toward the big leafy tree, which is now visible ahead. Frog hops beside him, Dog runs with tail wagging, Hog trots with a big grin, and Wiggly Log bounces along at the back of the group. In the background, the fog is lifting and thinning, revealing the bright green meadow and the big leafy tree standing tall and welcoming.

Jog, jog, jog through the fog, fog, fog! They all jogged together. Frog hopped. Dog ran. Hog wiggled. The wiggly log bounced along behind! And soon—there it was! The big, leafy tree! "We are home!" cheered Ezra.

Ezra sits under the big leafy tree holding an open book, reading aloud with a warm smile. Frog is snuggled against his left side, Dog is curled up on his right with eyes half-closed, Hog leans against Ezra's legs, and Wiggly Log rests perfectly still in front of them all. Everyone looks peaceful and happy. In the background, the fog has cleared to reveal a soft, golden-lit meadow with bright green grass, wildflowers, and the winding dirt path stretching peacefully into the distance.

Ezra sat back under his big, leafy tree. But this time, he was not alone. Frog snuggled on his left. Dog curled up on his right. Hog leaned in close. And the wiggly log? It sat very, very still. Ezra opened a brand-new book. "Once upon a time," he read. And everyone listened.
