Tena, a cartoony, Ethiopian-looking human with curly black hair and a wide, infectious grin, skips down the street, backpack bouncing. His expressive eyes dart from one lively corner to another, eager for adventure. "Today feels like the perfect day for something amazing!" he declares, pumping a fist in the air, drawing giggles from nearby vendors.

Tena peers curiously at a mysterious box in the center of the square, wrapped in shimmering fabric. He hops from foot to foot, his hands clapping in excitement. "What’s inside? Is it magic? Is it candy? Or maybe a dancing robot?" he wonders aloud, causing a crowd of children to join him in wild speculation.

Grandma Almaz, the beloved storyteller of the neighborhood, winks at Tena. Her laughter is as warm as the morning sun. "They’re looking for the bravest friend to lead today’s parade! Could it be you, Tena?"

Tena leaps into action, zigzagging through the crowd, gently scooping kittens and lining them up behind him. His comically exaggerated movements—tiptoeing, twirling, and wiggling his eyebrows—keep everyone entertained. "Alright, little fluffballs, let’s show Addis Ababa how it’s done!" he says as he marches, kittens prancing at his heels.
