Ligma had always been a curious creature. He loved to explore, to find out what was hidden behind the corners of rooms, to peep into cabinets and drawers. He was always looking for new things to see, new places to explore. One day, Ligma found four balls on the edge of a table. He couldn't resist reaching for them, and when he touched them, they popped right off the edge. Ligma was puzzled as to how they could have come off the table. He didn't see any screws or nails, and he was sure that he hadn't put them there. As Ligma was puzzling over the balls, he heard a noise from behind the door. He quickly hid the balls behind his back and peered around the corner to see a group of rats entering the room. The rats began to search the room, and Ligma quickly hid the balls again before they could find them. Later that day, Ligma found a scrap of paper with a list of instructions on it. The instructions said that if he could find all four balls and put them back on the table, he would be awarded a prize. Ligma was excited at the prospect of winning something,
