The Adventures of Bo

A mysterious picture of a cave with eyes glaring in the darkness. Surrounding the cave are hills in the distance and a green field in the foreground
A mysterious creature glares out from inside a dark cave, but what is it?
A child, dressed in a cowboy outfit is standing looking into the cave looking scared
Bo, who loves to dress up, is standing looking into the cave looking scared but intrigued.
A child goes into the cave and shines a torch onto the creature only to discover a lion who has arrows sticking out of his mane.
Bo walks bravely into the cave and finds a scared looking lion who has arrows sticking out of his mane.
Bo sits in front of the lion removing the arrows from the lion's mane. The lion is cuddling a tiger teddy between its paws for comfort.
Bo sits patiently removing each arrow from the lion's mane whilst the lion cuddles a tiger teddy for comfort.
Bo is now firing their own arrows into the distance. Bow stands in a field surrounded by bushes and trees with a bow and arrow.
Bo must now investigate, whoever shot all those arrows must have excellent bow and arrow skills. Bow sets off with their bow and arrow to see where the person who fired the arrows was likely to be standing, to see where about they landed.
An arrow sticks out of a large tree, the tree has a hedge behind it but it also has what looks to be a table nearby.
Bo's arrow has landed in a bit tree, but what is this...along the hedge past the tree appears to be a table, what an odd place to have a table.
A table filled with potions, a pumpkin ornament, a pestle and mortar, a lit candle and some kind of potions book fills the page. On the floor appears to be a witches hat.
It seems that the table is being used to mix potions. There is a pestle and mortar, a lit candle, and a pumpkin ornament, oh hang on, there is also a witches hat on the floor.
Bo has found a witches cat costume and is now wearing it very proudly. Bo has a cat mask and a black witch costume with a white tummy, Bo stands next to a lit pumpkin that has a cat face carved into it.
Oh, it seems as though Bo has found a cat costume! Bo has also found a lit pumpkin that has a face of a cat carved into it. Bo has also notices what appears to be a trail of rocks on the ground.
The rocks has turned into a massive pile of rocks, so high they are as high as the lowest branch on a nearby tree, it also appears that there is something hanging from the other side of the tree but the rocks are obscuring the scene.
The trail of rocks led to a massive pile of rocks, so massive it nearly touches the branches of a nearby tree. It also seems that there is something hanging from the other side of the tree but the rocks are blocking it.
Bo has walked to the other side of the rocks and has found three lit pumpkin party lanterns. Bo is staring up at them looking in awe.
Bo has walked around the rocks and has discovered three lit pumpkin party lanterns hanging from the tree. Bo wonders who would have hung them here?
