Dora[/@ch_1], the brave young explorer in her pink shirt and orange shorts, leads the way with her trusty purple backpack.] Dora skips along a winding dirt path, her backpack bouncing with each step, while Boots, the energetic monkey with brown fur, soft yellow boots, and a red backpack, swings from branch to branch beside her. The air smells of fresh earth and sweet flowers, and the sun warms their faces as they laugh and plan their next discovery. "¡Vamos, Boots! Today we're finding the lost bridge to Treasure Island! We can do anything if we use our heads!" "¡Sí, Dora! Monkey see, monkey do! This jungle is full of fun adventures!"

Dora freezes mid-step, her eyes widening in fear, as Boots clings to her shoulder, his tail puffing up. The massive tiger prowls forward, its sharp fangs glinting, muscles rippling under glossy fur, sending birds scattering into the sky. "¡Boots, mira! A scary tiger! It's huge and growling at us! We have to run, run as fast as we can!" "¡Ay, caramba, Dora! That tiger looks mean! It's chasing us! Faster, Dora, don't let it catch us!"

Dora grabs Boots's paw, both panting heavily as they dodge vines and leap over streams, hearts pounding. The tiger bounds closer, its hot breath almost felt on their backs, claws tearing earth. "Keep going, Boots! We can't let that tiger get us! Think, Dora, think—what can we do? Maybe call for help!" "I'm scared, Dora, but we're brave together! Ooh-ooh-ah-ah! Run to the open field! Maybe someone will see us!"

Geo[/@ch_3], the small blue Umizoomi robot with glowing green eyes and tiny yellow propeller hat, and his team appearing on a nearby stump via Umi-vision portal. Bright math symbols sparkle in the air like friendly fireflies.] Dora and Boots collapse behind a boulder, gasping, as the tiger circles at the edge. Geo materializes with Milli, the pink-haired girl in a tutu with pattern powers, and Bot, the orange robot with bouncy wheels and a friendly screen face. "¡Geo! ¡Umizoomi! A scary tiger is chasing us! It came out of nowhere with big teeth and claws! Please help us figure this out!" "Yeah, super friends! It's roaring and won't stop! Use your mighty math powers to save the day!"

Geo scans with his tiny gadget, eyes whirring, while Milli twirls ribbons and Bot bounces excitedly. They spot clues: fake stripes peeling, mechanical whirs hidden under fur. "Don't worry, Dora and Boots! Umi-alarm says this tiger is super tricky. Let's count the stripes: 1, 2, 3... wait, they're not real tiger stripes! They're painted cardboard! And look, the eyes are lights from a costume!" "Yes! Patterns don't match a real tiger. This is a disguise! We can use super stretchy patterns to reveal the truth. Stretch, twist, and peek inside!" "Beep-bop! Shape shifting activated! It's not a tiger—it's someone playing a prank with a big costume! Let's unmask it with pattern power!"

Swiper[/@ch_6], the sly fox with gray fur, black mask, and striped tail, looking sheepish amid scattered fake claws and a boombox for growls. Laughter echoes as tension melts away.] Swiper steps out, rubbing his paws nervously, the jungle now peaceful with butterflies dancing. Everyone gathers in a circle, the scary chase forgotten in relief. "Aw, shucks, it was just me, Swiper the fox! I wanted to surprise you with a tiger costume for a game, but I scared you too much! No swiping today, I promise—let's be friends instead and go on a real adventure together!" "¡Swiper, you got us good! But now we know it's you all along. Thanks, Umizoomi, for using math to solve it! We can do anything!" "Yay! No more scares—let's find that treasure bridge as a big team!"
