The Treasure Thief.

River crossing

Your fuzzy paws propel you through the waters, your small head bobbing steadily up and down with the flow. This is a bit of a struggle, but you are a strong and brave squirrel, after all. Finally, after some effort, your soft toes touch the other shore, just next to a spectacular waterfall which seems to glow majestically in the soft sunlight. Beside it is a picturesque small meadow, shot through with wildflowers in every color your furred face can appreciate.

The splash of the waterfall rings in your ears, and a few steps ahead, the tall, slim grass of the meadow sways slowly in the soft forest breeze. What a vibrant and exciting scene it is, so full of possibility! You squint at the waterfall. There is something...subtley cataclysmic about it, like the hidden storm inside each magic acorn you seek. And the meadow, it's an idyllic twist in this journey, full of might-be-moments. The question is: which way to go next? Let's hope your forest-squirrel instinct guides you right. A waterfall inspection or a meadow exploration? A split-second decision to make, and new paths to discover, all part of an adventurer's life!
