# Fun and interesting stories with a decent variety of plot types that are always educative such as helping someone returning home to his relatives, aiding someone in finding his true potential and bringing back an object to his owner, along with a few episodes based on characters' backstories such as Dora telling how she had her backpack in the first place.
