The Discovery of Sand Snake

After watching the glowing dance of Saphira the Scorpion under a starry sky, it is said that the young fennecs Sami and Sélia discover a new magical side of the desert. This fascinating‎ (1) encounter with the glowing scorpion shone so brightly that their eyes sparkled for the rest of the journey. They still remember the shimmering lights and the stories she told them. Soon after, as they explore the Singing Dunes, a strange whistling sound is heard. Intrigued, Sami and Sélia start searching for this mysterious melody.

Sami, curious, asks:
« Where does that noise come from? »

Sélia, curious about the whistle, suggests:
« I don't know. Let's go see. »

After walking a few meters, they spot a golden shape sliding on the ground. It's Sand Snake. His golden skin with shiny reflections blends with the golden sand, and his eyes shine with a mysterious emerald‎ (2) green. Sami, the little fennec with golden fur, and Sélia, the little fennec with sandy fur and always alert ears, are amazed by this sight.

Sami, curious, asks:
« How do you slide like that? »

Sand Snake, with a mysterious smile, explains: « You see, my friends, I slide on the sand thanks to my special scales‎ (3) and my smooth movements‎ (4). This lets me move quickly without sinking into the sand. It's like I'm dancing on the dunes! »

Sélia, amazed, shouts:
« It's magical! »

Sand Snake, with a mysterious smile, adds:
« Yes. It also helps me feel the ground's vibrations. This way, I spot my prey and avoid dangers. »

Sand Snake shows them an old medal buried under the sand. It has the same picture as the scroll. One more step towards the treasure!

The Secret of the Medal

It is explained that this medal is an ancient desert symbol, representing wisdom and protection. Sand Snake uses his magic to feel the vibrations of the ground, which helps him move quickly and hunt effectively. Also, Sand Snake shows them how he uses these abilities to slide on the sand without effort, just like they saw before.

Sami, curious, asks:
« How do you feel the vibrations? »

Sand Snake, curious about Sami's question, explains:
« I use my whole body. Every part of me feels the ground's movements. »

Sélia, amazed, shouts:
« It's amazing! »

Sand Snake shows them how he uses his whole body to sense movements around him. Sami and Sélia learn that Sand Snake is a true master of surviving in the desert.

Sami, curious about this creature, asks:
« How can you move so fast without sinking into the sand? »

Sand Snake, with a mysterious voice, explains: « I move in zigzags. This reduces the friction‎ (5) with the sand and lets me go fast. »

Sélia, her eyes sparkling, exclaims:
« This is awesome! »

With Sand Snake as their guide and the magic medal in hand, Sami and Sélia are closer than ever to the treasure. They decide to continue their quest the next day at dawn. But another mystery unfolds: as they watch the dunes, they notice that the jumping gerbils are leaping especially high. Sami and Sélia wonder why these little creatures use their strong muscles‎ (6) to avoid predators‎ (7) and move quickly across the sand.
