Page 1A mountain stands in the distance. Tall and quiet. It does not look special. But underneath, something is stirring.
Page 2Deep underground, rocks are getting hot. Hotter and hotter. They melt into liquid fire. This is magma. It wants to rise.
Page 3The magma pushes up. It fills a chamber beneath the mountain. More magma comes. The chamber gets fuller. The mountain feels the pressure.
