At dusk, Emek and Luna came to two forest paths. Lanterns marked the way back to adventure camp. The lanterns followed a pattern: small, small, big. Some were missing on both paths. Emek and Luna filled in the missing sizes and checked each pattern from the beginning. On one path, every lantern followed the rule. On the other, one lantern did not. They chose the path with the correct pattern and soon reached camp.
