Problem Description:
The task involves a maze where you need to guide the train to an animal whose name has exactly
two syllables. The animals shown are:
1.
Zebra
2.
Cat
3.
Pig
You need to count the number of syllables in each animal's name and determine which one has exactly two syllables. Then, solve the maze to lead the train to that animal.

Step-by-Step Solution:
#### Step 1: Count the syllables in each animal's name.
-
Zebra:
- Breakdown: Ze-bra
- Number of syllables:
2
-
Cat:
- Breakdown: Cat
- Number of syllables:
1
-
Pig:
- Breakdown: Pig
- Number of syllables:
1
#### Step 2: Identify the animal with exactly two syllables.
From the breakdown above:
-
Zebra has 2 syllables.
-
Cat has 1 syllable.
-
Pig has 1 syllable.
Thus, the animal with exactly two syllables is
Zebra.
#### Step 3: Solve the maze.
The goal is to guide the train from its starting position (inside the maze) to the Zebra, which is located on the left side of the maze.
##### Solving the Maze:
1. Start at the train's position inside the maze.
2. Follow the path that leads outward toward the Zebra.
3. Avoid dead ends and navigate through the twists and turns of the maze.
4. Continue until you reach the Zebra.
(Note: Since I cannot physically draw or navigate the maze, I will describe the general approach.)
- Begin by moving upward from the train.
- Follow the path as it curves and bends, ensuring you stay on the track.
- Eventually, you should reach the Zebra on the left side of the maze.
