Chapter 1: The Secret Time Machine Pomo was a brave and curious panda who lived in a peaceful bamboo forest. The air was clean, and the sun shone through the leaves. One sunny afternoon, Pomo was studying a part of the forest he had never been to before and found something amazing. An old, mysterious device was tucked among the tall bamboo stalks and partly submerged in the ground. Pomo saw it when the bright sunlight made the shiny surface sparkle. He saw weird patterns on its body that he had never seen before as he got closer. It made Pomo's heart beat fast with excitement and interest. He went around the gadget and looked at every part of it. The gears and switches on it made it look like it was both strangely modern and very old, and it could do amazing things. On the side of the machine is a big red button that looks scary. Pomo was torn between being compelled to know more and not wanting to. He thought about what would happen if he pressed it. Is there a sound? Could it move?
