Maya sat in the driver's seat of her favorite companion, Barnaby. Barnaby was a small, shiny blue car with round headlights and a silver bumper. Today, they were leaving their cozy garage to find the legendary Echoing Peak. It was said that this special mountain would repeat every single beep and honk you made. Maya packed a colorful map and some snacks, feeling very adventurous. 'Are you ready, Barnaby?' Maya asked with a bright, hopeful smile.
Professor Hoot Says:
"An echo happens when sound waves bounce off a hard surface, like a mountain or a wall, and return to your ears."

They are parked in front of a cozy wooden garage with flowers blooming nearby. Maya is looking at a paper map.
The road wound through a sun-drenched meadow full of tall, tickly grass. Maya and Barnaby reached a fork in the path and weren't sure which way to go. Suddenly, a fluffy white rabbit with long, twitching ears hopped out from behind a yellow dandelion. Maya leaned out the window to ask the rabbit for directions to the mountain. The rabbit pointed its ears toward the tallest, purple peak in the distance, and Barnaby gave a tiny, happy beep to say thank you.

Maya is talking to a fluffy white rabbit with long ears in a green meadow filled with yellow dandelions.
As they climbed higher, a thick, swirling mist began to cover the winding road. Maya could hardly see the tips of Barnaby's shiny silver bumper through the gray clouds. Barnaby felt a little bit nervous, and his black tires wobbled on the bumpy gravel. 'It is okay, Barnaby,' Maya whispered, patting the dashboard with her freckled hand. Maya turned on Barnaby's bright, round headlights to pierce through the fog, and they slowly crawled upward together.

Finally, they reached the very base of the giant, rocky mountain that touched the sky. Maya jumped out and looked up at the tall cliffs that were decorated with white snow. Barnaby took a deep breath of air and let out a loud, brave 'BEEP!' They waited and waited in the quiet air, but the mountain stayed completely silent. Barnaby's round headlights looked a little droopy because he felt so disappointed that the mountain didn't answer.

Maya had a clever idea and gave Barnaby's hood a big, warm hug. 'Maybe the mountain is just shy and needs two voices at once,' Maya suggested. On the count of three, Maya shouted 'Hello!' while Barnaby let out his loudest, most cheerful honk. Suddenly, the mountain shouted 'Hello!' and 'Honk!' right back at them, over and over again. Maya and Barnaby laughed as their happy sounds danced through the valley, finally finding the magic they sought.
