Marina hugged her teddy bear tight. 'We are going on an adventure,' said Papa.

She looked around her room. Toys were in boxes. 'Why do we move?' she asked.

Mama smiled, 'To be closer to family and have new experiences, sweetie.'

Marina frowned. 'I'll miss my friends. Will I make new ones?'

'Of course! And we'll visit old ones too,' Papa assured her with a kiss.

On the road, Marina imagined playing in big parks and eating new foods.

Mama pointed out of the window, 'Look at those fields! Just like Sapezal.'

As they drove, Marina drew pictures to send to her friends back home.

They arrived in Campo Grande at night. The city lights twinkled like stars.

In the morning, Marina explored her new room. Space for new memories.

At the park, a girl waved to Marina. 'Want to play?' she called out.

'Yes!' Marina ran to meet her. A new city, a new friend, a new start.
