After the incident with the bottomless pit,
the two adventurers continued along the winding
path which led them through the
Pointless
Forest, and along the way
they met the three
fat sisters, who giggled and laughed and danced,
and whose point was fun and merriment.
They also met the
Leaf
Man, who told them to plant
their roots in the
Pointless
Forest,
and by springtime, reap the harvest of green and gold leaves,
which the forest had to offer.
Well, needless to say,
Oblio and
Arrow were not interested in
planting roots in the
Pointless
Forest.
In fact, they had no roots to plant.
So they thanked the leaf man and
continued on their way.
A little by little,
Oblio was learning a great
deal about the
Pointless
Forest and its inhabitants.
But unfortunately for him and
Arrow, his knowledge couldn't
possibly help them anticipate what
was hovering directly above them, until suddenly,
the whole area in which they were standing
grew dark from the shadow of a giant prehistoric pterodactyl,
who swooped down and lifted oblio
and arrow high above the
pointless forest.
