Pasin the panda was bored, bored, BORED!

His days were as drab as a dishrag, as dull as a dusty doorstop.

"This is simply unacceptable!" Pasin declared with a sigh.

He longed for laughter, for excitement, for a life less BLAH!

One day, a tiny turquoise turtle trundled by.

"Excuse me," Pasin called, "Do you have any excitement to spare?"

The turtle chuckled, "Excitement? I've got more than I can handle!"

He pulled out a shimmering seashell, "This, my friend, is an Adventure Shell!"

"Whisper your wildest wish," the turtle winked, "And prepare for a remarkable ride!"

Pasin, his heart thump-thump-thumping, held the shell to his ear.

He squeezed his eyes shut and wished for a day bursting with pizzazz.

Suddenly, the shell began to shake and shimmer with a blinding flash!
