[ Inside the tree, it's much larger than it seemed on the outside, or is it that you're much smaller? In any case, the air smells of pine needles and sap, and there are comfortable chairs scattered around for you to sit in, as well as a table in the center of the round room. There's something on that table... ]

Well that discounts cutlery and jewelry. No weapons or tool either. We know it's practical but what is it used for . . . .

Is it something that can be worn or can be easily carried with us?

Something regularly that we can use. . .

Does it need to be maintained?

So something that can be kept around in the house but does not need to be maintained or constantly used . . . Ah.

Is it a clock?

Well, that seems oddly hopeful.

Is it something like a clock?

Things like clocks . . . It cannot be a sun dial because we cannot use that indoors. So that leaves.

Is it a hourglass?
