You find an unsealed envelope. The many pages within are written in a whimsical, unruly script accompanied by several simple drawings. Two stick figures stand at the bottom of the first page, one with a crudely drawn but impressive beard labeled "ELDER HALE," the other with what appears to be a large glove on one hand, labeled "ME."

Dear Elder Hale,

I did like you said and wrote down everything I could remember about my adventure in the Old Forest. It was hard! It's not hard to REMEMBER. I can do that! I just don't want to WRITE about it. I know you said it's important, but I still think it's more fun to just DO STUFF. Writing is SO BORING! Sorry, Elder! Anyway, here it is. I called it THE CHUBBY FROG AND THE BEARSLOTH WHO ATE HIM AND IT WAS SAD SO I CRIED.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!

You can't help but smile as you tuck the pages carefully into your pack.
