        <p>The room is comfortably warm. It is softly lit by rays of sunlight passing through the windows. There is a wooden bed in the room with a comfortable mattress and pillows. There is a wooden desk in one corner with a computer on it. There are several pictures in the room - paintings. One is of a beach at sunset, one is of a waterfall in the mountains, and one is of Paris at night. The room has hardwood floors made of old, good quality planks that are smooth to the touch. There is a fireplace with several logs and a good fire going. It is a nice place.</p>

    <answer>
      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
        <p>It is an old forest, with many trees of various types and sizes. I see mostly tall pines and white birch trees. There are also many maple trees - some have taps on them for syrup. The forest is fairly thick. There are also a number of young holly trees. It is shady, but plenty of light passes through the tree tops to reach the forest floor. There is a lot of wildlife running around in the trees and in the leaves covering the forest floor.</p>

        <p>The path I am on is a narrow dirt path. It has been traveled well enough to be clearly seen - no leaves have accumulated on it to cover it up. It is not so traveled that the ground is worn significantly. I see animal tracks in the dirt both along and crossing the path. It winds through the forest, and there is no end in sight.</p>

      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
        <p>It is a clear, cold mountain spring. The spring cuts through the forest in a fairly straight path, and the water is moving very swiftly. The water is crystal clear, looking almost good enough to drink. There are rocks that rise above the water, causing the water to bubble and foam as it rushes past them. It is not very wide, but surprisingly deep at the center. I see a number of fish in the stream, moving swiftly with the current.</p>

        <p>It is a simple, large stainless steel cup, probably left here by someone who tasted the water and liked it. It has been here awhile I would guess because the weather has taken some of the shine off of its metallic surface. It is still surprisingly clean, and, of course, not rusted because of its composition.</p>

    <answer>
      <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
        <p>It is a fairly small brass key, a very simple key, much like a skeleton key. It has three prongs on it at the end. The one at the end of the key is long and L shaped. The center prong is somewhat shorter and is shaped like a "h". The last prong is the shortest, and also L shaped. I would guess that a key like this unlocks an old chest of valuables. Someone is sorry to have lost this key for sure.</p>
