| − | ==Description==
| + | After reading a rare book at The [[library]]'s censored publications area, Twinsen goes [[Island of the White Leaf Desert]], where he meets an old [[rabbibunny]]. The rabbibunny tells him that he knows about the so-called legend that [[FunFrock]] fears, and promises to tell him about it if he brings him the Book of Bù from the [[Temple of Bù]]. |
| − | Down at the peaceful [[Miss Bloop's Private Museum|museum of Ms. Bloop]] in [[Lupin-Burg]], lies the '''Book of Bù'''. Although innocent-looking, a great history lies behind this book, which played a major role in [[Twinsen]]'s first adventure.

| | | | |
| − | The book, as explained in its pages, is one of the four magical items that were needed to be collected by the Heir, for him to achieve victory. Furthermore, the owner of the book fastly becomes reach in knowledge, as the book enables its possessor to talk with the animals of [[Twinsen]], as well as to read the ancient language of Twinsun, Runic.
| + | After getting through all the obstacles of the Temple, Twinsen finally makes it to the last room. There, surrounded by old dead-yet-alive rabbibunnies skeletons, he finds the book spinning in air. Instead of trying to fight the skeletons, Twinsen can run straight to the book, which causes the skeletons to stop fighting him, and bow to him instead. |
| | | | |
| − | A further looking at this sacred book reveals even more interesting details. For example, it tells the exact [[prophecy of Sendell]], and describes clearly the events that post factum did happen at Twinsen's adventure. From this book, Twinsen learned his actual destiny: to overthrow the tyrant - Dr. [[FunFrock]].

| − | After reading a rare book at The [[library]]'s censored publications area, Twinsen made his steps to the [[Island of the White Leaf Desert]]. There, he met the old hermit, a nameless [[rabbibunny]] who was most likely the smartest of his kind on the entire planet. That hermit told Twinsen that he knows about the so-called "Legend" that FunFrock really fears. He then sent the [[quetch]] to the [[Temple of Bù]], to fetch him the sacred Book of Bù. If he returns safely, our hero was guaranteed, he will then hear from the wise bunny all that he has to know about the Legend. After a long time of getting through all troubles and obstacles of the Temple, Twinsen finally made it to the last room. There, surrounded by old dead-yet-alive rabbibunnies skeletons, he found, spinning in air, the desired book. Twinsen could try killing the skeleton enemies, but a better idea came to his mind. Instead of trying to fight his opponents, the quetch ran straight to the holy book. Then, suddenly, a marvellous thing happened. The skeletons, apparently worshipping the book, stopped fighting Twinsen, and started all bowing to him.
| + | From this book, Twinsen learned his actual destiny: to overthrow the tyrant - Dr. FunFrock. |
| | | | |
| − | After he got out of the temple, Twinsen passed the old book to the rabbibunny, who was still sitting outside, waiting for him. At this act, the hermit figured that Twinsen must be the Heir the prophecy speaks of, as only him could survive in this dangerous temple. Appreciating this, the old rabbi told Twinsen everything about the Legend, and sent him to [[Twinsen's house|his own house]] to continue his important quest.
| + | Once owning the book, Twinsen can speak with the animals of [[Twinsun]], as well as read the ancient language of the planet, Runic. The book also promoted his [[magic ball|magic level]] from yellow to green. |
| | | | |
| − | Additionally, Twinsen was then able to speak with the animals of the planet, and also read Runic, two features that gave the brave quetch more power over his enemies. The book has also promoted his level of magic, from yellow to green.
| + | After getting out of the temple, Twinsen gives the book to the old rabbibunny, who thus figures Twinsen must be the heir the prophecy speaks of. The rabbibunny then tells Twinsen about the Legend, and sends him to [[Twinsen's house|his house]] to continue his quest. |
| | | | |
| − | At the end of his first adventure, no longer needing the book, Twinsen contributed it to Ms. Bloop's private museum. There, visitors from all over the planet come and witness the items and objects that were vital at Twinsen's quest. However, Twinsen was still able to speak with the animals of Twinsen, even after giving the book away.
| + | During Little Big Adventure 2, the book is held at [[Miss Bloop's Private Museum]]. However, Twinsen is still able to speak with the animals of Twinsen, despite not owning the book any more. |

| − | ==Unconfirmed theories==
| + | |
| − | The origin of the Book is unknown. It might be just like the Earthly bible, whose writer is unknown, although the Twinsunian divinity is more tangible than the Earthly one. Another possibility is that the writer of the book was Bù himself, although absolutely nothing is known about him to nowadays Twinsunians.

I'll tell you what I know if you bring me a sacred book. It is in the Temple of Bù which was buried by a violent sand storm. You can still get in, however, through one of the ventilation shafts still visible just behind me. But be careful: there is danger everywhere!|

It will allow you to decipher the runes and to speak to the animals. The prophecy that must be accomplished is also revealed in its pages: you must overthrow Dr. FunFrock, the despot who has destroyed the harmony that once existed on this planet. In my dreams, I saw him profaning the Well of Sendell, which caused the immediate destruction of this world. You must go to the Well of Sendell to save us from Dr. FunFrock. I don't know where this well is, but your ancestors must have left instructions for you, somewhere in your home.|
