An Alternative Option
All the loggers were puzzled for quite a while as they pondered the next step to take in revealing what was blocking the light from coming through with ease. As it happened, a fear-jerking thought was made public – someone had to go up to see what was blocking the way. But, in all honesty, who would go in?
Of course, a lot of the loggers were hesitant as to going in because they were scared something dangerous could be lodging there. But, even though they later agreed that it couldn’t be such a big deal, they still thought it important to be cautious.
Checking it Out
As they discussed among themselves who would brave this adventure, one of the woodcutters stepped forward and offered himself to be the “brave hero.” So, as the decision was agreed upon, he bent over and stuck more than half his body into the hollow tree.
Suddenly, everyone drew back when they saw him coming out with a rush and seemed a little traumatized. Sure enough, it took him quite a few seconds to calm down before he could make himself say what was up there.
