The Riddle of the Knocking Tree


The Riddle of the Knocking Tree
Lenka and Kuba loved their walks in the forest together. Their favourite place was an old green tree with a hollow where a family of jays lived. One day, as they were walking along the path, Lenka stopped suddenly and whispered: - Can you hear it? There was a quiet, rhythmic clatter coming from far away. Cuba furrowed his brow and looked around. It was quiet all around, only the occasional rustling of leaves. - Maybe it's a woodpecker? - he suggested, but the clatter was different, as if someone was hitting a small box gently. The children decided to come closer. They passed the berry bushes, walked past a large anthill and climbed up a not-so-high hill. The closer they got to the tree, the louder the clatter became. Suddenly, behind the thick trunk of an old beech tree, they saw a mysterious box lying on the ground, and next to it.... Suddenly the bushes moved violently! Lenka and Kuba looked at each other with wide-open eyes. Would they dare to look behind the trunk? What will they find by the box?
