Geeble hiked down the base of the mountain and headed deep into the boolie jungle. It was morning in Crilas, but the crowded jungle would never let you know that. It was filled with darkness and the air was thick. It was hard to breath as everything was so close together. Geeble had to crawl on his hands and knees at times to get past the thick brush.
All of the sudden Geeble made it to somewhat of a clearing. It was still dark with leaning branches as a roof blocking the sun, but there was a huge meadow with tall grass and a large tree in the center. Geeble moved on. After hours of travel, Geeble was met by another huge clearing. Wait...it was the exact same place, only this time someone else was there. *insert gasp*

"Who are you?" Geeble asked.
The thin brownish creature responded in it's scratchy voice. "I am a guide."
Geeble didn't trust whatever this thing was. He could tell by it's presence. "What would you guide me to?"
"Your destiny."
"What is my destiny?" Geeble asked curiously.
The creature was on all fours, but stood up to say this. "Your destiny is to die!" it screamed.
Geeble ran up to the creature and siezed it by the neck and pinned it against the tree. "I wouldn't make a threat like that, seeing as you're very small and....oh yeah, I could kill you right now!"
The creature laughed. "You can't find your way through this jungle without my help. I die, you die!"
Geeble threw the creature onto the ground."Well then...help me and I might spare your life."
"I don't help for free. We must play a game to see." The creature then laughed at it's little rhyme.
"What game?"
"The game of why is the only game I know, so it is the best. The rules are as follows." The creature then scurried off behind it's tree and pulled out a large piece of bark with writting on it. "You must read the agreement or you can't play."
Geeble picked up the piece of bark. It looked to be written in blood. "You've done this before, haven't you?"
"Eh, once or......eh..a thousand times! Yes! Thoasands of times, and I never lose!"
Geeble snorted at this, and read the agreement. The rules are, you must ask Goofuh(creature) a question and explain it. If you lie, you die. If you can't answer you die.
"Hmmmm, okay a question. Can you help me out of here?" Geeble asked starting the game.
"Why?" Goofuh asked as he snickered.
"Because I want to get out of here."
"Why?"
"Because I need to find my orb."
"Why?"
"So I can become a God."
"Why?"
"So I can destroy the nothing."
"Why?"
"So Oddworld will be peacefull again."
"Why?"
The game went on for hours. Goofuh was used to winning after a few questions, but he wasn't prepared for Geeble. After a long long time, Goofuh lost his voice. "I win!
" Geeble said proudly!"
