The Lighthouse of the Pompas
This episode previews one of the Circle Round Snuggle Time stories called 'The Lighthouse of the Pompas.' The story revolves around the Ombu, a unique plant in the South American country of Uruguay. The Ombu, also known as the 'Lighthouse of the Pompas,' provides shade and relief from the scorching sun for those traveling in the grasslands. The story recounts how the Ombu, along with other plants and trees, expressed their desires to their creator, the powerful spirit named Tupa. While other plants wished for strength, beauty, and height, the Ombu remained silent, having different aspirations. To discover what the Ombu's wish was, one must join the Circle Round Club.
