Kirat and Sirat Adventures: A Visit to the Zoo and Beyond

Join siblings Kirat and Sirat on an unexpected adventure that unfolds beyond the zoo's boundaries. What starts as a simple visit to the zoo soon turns into a magical journey when the duo finds themselves lost in a nearby enchanted forest.

As they wander, trying to find their way back, they come across a talking flower. Instead of tales of the forest, this gentle bloom shares a heartfelt plea, explaining the importance of letting nature thrive in its habitat and the reasons why she shouldn't be plucked and taken away. Their journey is further enlivened by an eloquent butterfly and a wise lion, each adding depth and wisdom to their adventure.
