“A young man goes one day to walk in some woods. He wanders all day, delighting in his surroundings until at last he realises that the sun is beginning to set and it is time to turn for home. But the first path he follows twists and turns back on itself and takes him round in a circle. The second just seems to take him deeper into the woods and as he walks the third, he realises that it is too dark to go on and that he will have to find the hollow of a tree and spend the night there until day dawns once more.
The next day he tries again, but all day he wanders, seeming to go only deeper and deeper into the trees, and once more is forced to sleep in the open. On the third day, he fares no better, and as the sun is beginning to set once more he is filled with despair.
