 # Hello World
+
+Welcome to your first quest! This quest will help you familiarize yourself with the terminal.
+
+The terminal is a text-based interface that allows you to interact directly with your computer's operating system. You can perform various tasks by typing commands into the terminal and pressing `Enter` to execute them.
+
+For your first task, you are going to use the `echo` command.
+
+## Task 1: Using the `echo` Command
+
+The `echo` command in Unix is used to display line of text/string that are passed as an argument. This is a built in command that is mostly used in shell scripts and batch files to output status text to the screen or a file.
+
+Here is what you need to do:
+
+1. Open your terminal.
+2. Type `echo Hello World` and hit `Enter`.
+3. You should see `Hello World` output to the terminal. This is because `echo` prints its arguments to the standard output, which is your terminal by default.
+
+Congratulation! You've just run your first terminal command!
+
+Stay tuned for the next quests where you'll delve deeper into more complex and powerful terminal commands.
