The

One Great Truth

After traveling for days through one of the densest parts of the ancient forest, Confuchsia was relieved to finally come upon an expansive clearing. There was something very strange about this clearing, though, since all the foliage seemed to have been trampled, and in the very center of the clearing there stood four, very large, symmetrical trees. Confuchsia walked over to one of the trees and leaned against it; its bark was warm and surprisingly elastic to the touch—nothing like any of the other trees she had come into contact with throughout her journey.

Suddenly, the tree seemed to move. “No,” thought Confuchsia, “I must have imagined it.” But it moved again; then another tree moved; and a third. Confuchsia ran clear of the animated trees and turned back to look: all four trees were now shuffling slowly toward her. Then they stopped, as suddenly as they had started, the closest one several yards in front of her. Now something moved behind her; Confuchsia whirled around and right in front of her was a huge, round head, with two large, calm, brown eyes blinking at her from a few feet above the ground.
