(Liala encounters a sly, golden fox blocking her path.)
Fox:
"Hello there, traveler. What brings you to my neck of the woods?"
Liala (hesitant):
"I'm searching for the Wishing Stone. Do you know where it is?"
Fox (smirking):
"Perhaps I do, but everything comes at a price. Answer my riddle, and I'll help you. Fail, and you'll lose your way."
(The fox circles her, its eyes gleaming mischievously.)
Fox:
"What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows?"
(Liala pauses, thinking hard.)
Liala (smiling):
"A mountain!"
Fox (impressed):
"Well done, fiery one. Follow the stream, and you'll find what you seek."
(The fox disappears, leaving a trail of golden leaves.)
(The fox follows liala secretly to know what liala was searching for )
Liala noticed a footstep trailing her and stop to find out who it was .
Liala (in a loud voice ) : hellllllllloooooo!!!

Liala(shocked ) :oh dear fox , I thought we parted ways . Thanks for looking out on me ,I'm good and sound ( smiles) .
( The fox disappears again )
