Once upon a time, there was a city called Augusta Ombligopolis Helioradial, a fascinating place where the Triperios Lunares lived in harmony with the citizens. In this polis, Sana Distancia and Vacunación Universal were priorities to guarantee the safety and well-being of everyone.

One day at the Festival de Manos, the Carrera de Reyes en Bicicleta was being held, the participants, dressed in shiny Medallas, prepared for the competition, among them was Cíclope, last year's winner, a cyclist famous for his strength and determination, everyone was eager to see who would be the winner, while the Coloso de Rodas, a gigantic statue located in the center of the city, watched attentively as the race began.

Spectators, including the Changuitos en la Ciudad, crowded along the road to cheer on the cyclists, as did the Pescadores de Cacahuates, famous for their skills in catching peanuts in the air, who also joined the crowd. Meanwhile, at the Hotel Pierre, two elephants named Calma and P de Papagayo were enjoying their stay, both friends were inseparable and always looking for new adventures together.

The race began simultaneously with the impressive Estreno del Cine Chapultepec, where a film about the life and Divagaciones Espontáneas of elephants was shown; Back in the race, spectators admired the skill of the participants as they pedaled through the city streets. In the middle of the competition, C de Cabra, an agile runner known for his love of riddles, decided to take a shortcut through a nearby maze. As he went, he found an ancient scroll hidden in the Nariz de Cleopatra that told about Alfabetos Secretos and magic Herramientas; Intrigued by the contents of the scroll, C de Cabra realized that it contained instructions on how to find the X Pulsada, a precious stone with mystical powers. He then decided to follow the instructions and ventured into the labyrinth, solving puzzles and challenging obstacles, while in the other corner of the city, the inhabitants celebrated the Estreno del Cine Chapultepec. Confucio, a wise philosopher, spoke words of wisdom, while moviegoers listened attentively.

Finally, C de Cabra emerged from the labyrinth with the X Pulsada in his hands, the stone reflected a magical glow that illuminated the entire city, allowing him to obtain first place in the competition, the news quickly spread and everyone gathered in the Panóptico, a place where the entire Omniverso could be observed; the place was filled with amazement and emotion, at that time, an Acupunctura Neoecléctica Universal show was organized where the population of the city was healed and rejuvenated by the mysterious needles.

The story concludes with a great celebration in honor of the adventure of C de Cabra and the X Pulsada. The citizens danced and sang to the music of the Dragones Musicales while enjoying the fishing of the Pescadores de Cacahuates, the Ciudad de un Millón con 25 Huevos Duros was filled with joy and happiness.

And so, in this magical and peculiar place called Augusta Ombligopolis Heliorradial, dreams come true and wonders never cease to exist.
