Emek, Luna, and Pixel found a trail of stepping stones across a stream. The first group had 2 stones, the next had 4, and the next had 6. Pixel noticed that each group grew by 2 stones. Emek and Luna predicted that the next groups would have 8 and then 10 stones. They followed the growing pattern, crossed the stream safely, and happily continued their adventure together.
