Let me ask you something. Do you think mountains hide secrets? Or riches and treasures? Would you believe us if we told you that the boy in our story saw how twelve robbers entered a magical mountain only by using the magnificent words "Semsi mountain, open up". Do you want to peek inside and find out what it hides? Will you have the courage to follow the robbers? Will the mountain be as welcoming as it seems or the danger is just behind the cliff?
