“Is that your serious? Oh, Amanda!” Kenny exclaimed and asked.

“We will see the sunrise over the mountains from a hot air balloon,” she told him, noticing that it was a sure thing that he didn't have to worry about.

When they arrived at the point, the curious man looked at the crew who set up the hot air balloon for a departure. The graphics showed him in the balloon and explored the sky as he looked at tiny settlements from above. He pointed down and noticed how small the houses and the village looked. Kenny said in a whispering tone:
