The Quest: Snake hisses in pain as he slides along the ground on his overly-sensitive belly! When he notices a horse painlessly galloping to the water hole, Snake begins a quest to fix his tummy while discovering his strength is deeper than he thought. This app storyline demonstrates that when overcoming something difficult, the task is lighter when we find someone willing to help, and includes an imaginatively funny ending turning Snake into a mashup "Snorse," a metaphor for how we all become more after we overcome difficult experiences.
