You enter the wood and, after some creeping into the bushes so as not to lose the end of the thread, you manage to reach a narrow path where you can see the red line slithering on the ground.

You enter the wood and, after some creeping into the bushes so as not to lose the end of the thread, you manage to reach a narrow path where you can see the red line slithering on the ground.

Every now and then it goes round a tree trunk or climbs up a tall branch, forcing you to go in circles or jump. However, you do not give up and go on following the tiny little guide in your hands. The forest becomes thicker, darker and colder as time passes and you are starting to feel uneasy and tired, when suddenly there is light in front of you! You find yourself rushing out of the forest holding what is now a red ball with both hands, hoping you won’t break the thread.

At first, the sudden light makes it difficult for you to catch sight of the red line on the ground, but as your eyes grow used to the light, you spot it sneaking among the rocks which are now part of the lunar landscape in front of you. Not wanting to lose your grip on the ball, you proceed by stepping cautiously and finally make it to a river. There is a very old bridge crossing it in front of you and the red string goes right on it and to the other side.

The bridge looks very old and not very safe at all, but you keep following the string and quickly get to the other end of the bridge, safe. Oh dear: the thread at this point splits in two and you have to decide which end you want to follow! One continues on your right in the direction of a mountain you can see in the distance, the other follows the river which is due to dive into the sea after a few hours’ walk. Which end do you choose?
