It's the land of great adventure.
Well, who are you?

I'm a spirit. The True Spirit of Adventure.
That's for me! What's next?

Donald Duck: Mathematics! That's for EGGHEADS!
The True Spirit of Adventure
Eggheads? Now hold on Donald. You like music, don't you?
Yeah.
The True Spirit of Adventure
Well, without eggheads, there would be no music.
The True Spirit of Adventure
The mind knows no limits when used properly. Think of a pentagram, Donald. Now put another inside, a third, and a fourth. No pencil is sharp enough to draw as fine as you can think, and no paper large enough to hold your imagination. In fact, it is only in the mind that we can conceive infinity. [the infinite progression of pentagrams turns into a hallway of doors] Mathematical thinking has opened the doors to the exciting adventures of science.
I'll be doggone! I've never seen so many doors before.
The True Spirit of Adventure
[Runs back and forth from one door to another]
Each discovery leads to many others. An endless chain.
Hey, hey! What's the matter with these doors? Hey! These doors won't open! They're locked!
The True Spirit of Adventure
Of course they are locked. These are the doors of the future, and the key is...
Mathematics!
The True Spirit of Adventure
Right. Mathematics. The boundless treasures of science are locked behind those doors. In time, they will be opened by the curious and inquiring minds of future generations. In the words of Galileo, "Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe."
