Well, there is a riddle on the back have of the tree, and next to the riddle we have to write the right answer, but that's not all. The riddle is written in a different langue and usually the riddles are about other creatures in the forest.

Sara looked down at her feet and wondered if any thing would ever be easy, again. Ryan and Sara walked over to the other side of the weird tree.
