the road to sugarloaf

Every Sunday, Grandma Badger would walk all the way to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain. She picked mushrooms on the road and helped friends in need. Sometimes, special encounters happen on the road...

Grandma Badger met Lulu that day. With her timely encouragement, Grandma Badger took Lulu to the top of the mountain to see the beautiful scenery. So every Sunday they would go up the mountain together. Along the way, Grandma Badger shared the secret of Sugarloaf Mountain and introduced many friends to Lulu, and they became close friends. The elderly Badger Grandma is getting older and needs more rest on the way up the mountain. Lulu stays with her all the way until one day Badger Grandma can no longer climb. Will Lulu continue to climb the mountain? How to live such a life?
