Tiko, jungle explorer sher, hamesha se ek raaz dhundhne ki khwahish rakhta tha: 'Khoya hua chamakte moti.' Woh hamesha patton wali topi pehnta tha aur apne saath ek khazane ka naksha rakhta tha. Tiko ke pas khush-shakal patharon ka ek majedaar sangrah bhi tha, jise woh har jagah apne saath le jata tha. "Aaj, main is chamakte moti ko dhundunga!" usne kaha, apni ankhen chamkate hue.
Uske naksha mein khaas baat thi: woh Tiko ke mood ke hisab se badalta tha! Agar Tiko khush hota, toh naksha rang-birange raste dikhata. Agar woh udas hota, toh raste dhundhle ho jate. Tiko ka naksha usse hawa mein tairte hue jazeeron ki taraf le gaya. Yeh jazeere ajeeb the, kuch to itne bade the jitne train, aur kuch chhoti chinta ki tarah.
Tiko jungal mein ghuma, aur uski madad vines karti thi, jinhone use pedon se swing karne mein madad ki. Azal, jo puppies aur pyare bags se pyaar karti hai, usko bhi woh jazeere pasand aate. Tiko ne kaha, "Namaste, Vines!" Vines jhat se hilne lage aur Tiko ko ek bade se ped ki taraf le gaye. Us ped ke peeche, ek badi si neeli violet dragon Frizzle khadi thi, jo rang-birangi thi aur sirf glitter se sans leti thi! Frizzle ne kaha, "Aao, aao! Main tumhare saath ek chai party karna chahti hoon!" Frizzle ko apne rang-birange wings se jazeere mein udte hue dekhna ek khoobsurat nazara tha. Frizzle ne Tiko se pucha, "Tum itna chamakte moti kyun dhundh rahe ho?" Tiko ne jawab diya, "Main isko doston ke saath khushi mein baantna chahta hoon!"
Unki chai party mein, Jahaan ke dinosaur aur train ki tarah, Tiko aur Frizzle ne baatein ki. Jahaan pizza aur peanut butter se pyaar karta hai, isliye uski tarah hi, Tiko ko bhi dost banana pasand tha.
Agla din, Tiko aur Frizzle ne chamakte moti ki talaash shuru ki. Naksha, jo ab tak khush tha, dher dhuaan wale Cloudy Canyon ki taraf badal gaya. "Yeh to thoda mushkil lag raha hai!" Tiko ne kaha. Cloudy Canyon ke andar badal itne ghane the ki kuch bhi dekhna mushkil tha. Tiko ne kaha, "Main jangal mein hamesha raste dhund leta hoon, lekin yahaan…"
Achanak, ek tez hawa chali aur Tiko ka naksha udd gaya! "Nuksha!" Tiko chilaya, "Ab hum kya karenge?" Frizzle ne kaha, "Chinta mat karo, Tiko! Hum mil kar rasta dhoondh sakte hain!" Unhone mil kar kaam karne ka faisla kiya.
Cloudy Canyon mein, unhone bahut mushkilin paayi. Tez hawaein aur chamakte moti ko dhundhne ki mushkilin thi. Frizzle ne apne glitter ko rasta banane ke liye istemaal kiya, aur Tiko vines ki madad se aage badhta raha. Unhone ek saath mushkilon ka saamna kiya, aur unki dosti aur mazboot hui. Jab unhone mehsoos kiya ki unko ek ajeeb goonj sunayi de rahi hai, to Tiko ne kaha, "Shayad hum chamakte moti ke kareeb hain!"
Kuch der baad, unhone ek chota sa gufa dekha. Andar, woh chamakte moti tha, jo apni chamak se jagmaga raha tha! "Humne kar dikhaya!" Frizzle ne kaha, apni ankhen chamkate hue. Tiko ne moti ko uthaya, aur unhone ek dusre ko dekha, unki dosti aur bhi mazboot ho gayi. Unke paas ek dusre ki madad karne ka ehsaas tha, jaisa ki Jahaan ko apne construction equipment ke saath kaam karne mein maza aata hai.
Phir, unhone ek aur chai party ka aayojan kiya, is baar chamakte moti ke saath. Unhone apni khushi baanti, jaise Azal apne puppies ke saath karti hai. Tiko ne kaha, "Dosti sabse bada khazana hai!" Aur Frizzle ne jawab diya, "Haan, aur mil kar kaam karna sabse achha tareeka hai!" Unhone jazeeron par ek saath bahut saare din bitaaye, hamesha dosti aur khushi phailate hue. Yeh dono hamesha dost rahenge, jaise Tiko ka dil hamesha chamakte moti ko dhundhta rahega! Us din, unhone yeh bhi seekha ki har ek dost ko ek bag mein rakhne ki zaroorat nahin hai; dosti dil mein hoti hai. Aur woh aakhir mein maze karte rahe!
