He approached the oldest tree in the forest, the Wise Old Oak, standing tall and majestic. Its leaves rustled as if whispering ancient tales, intriguing the traveler.

The traveler sat down, closed his eyes, and asked the Oak, 'How can I gain wisdom?' The Oak remained silent, its leaves rustling softly.
