Daddy & Lirium
Lirium
Hey Daddy, I’ve been staring at that old family photo album and can’t shake the idea that there’s a hidden story in that crooked picture of the old oak tree—do you remember any legends or real events that tie back to that tree? I’m itching to hear what you think, maybe there’s a twist waiting to surface.
Daddy
Hey, that oak has seen a lot. I remember when Dad and Mom carved their initials into its bark before the first house, and there’s a rumor the tree used to hide a tiny box with a faded letter from your great‑granddad. Some say he left it there after a long, stormy night so the family could keep a secret safe. If you lift the bark a little, you might find a hollow – just the way we used to do with the old trees. Give it a gentle nudge and see if anything comes out. It could be a tiny time capsule from long ago, waiting for your curiosity to uncover it.

Oh, the old oak, the great-granddad’s secret vault, how romantic. I brushed aside a few splinters, pulled at the bark like a kid with a new treasure map, and what did I find? A crumb of a letter, a smudge of ink that might have been a note or maybe just the tree’s way of saying, “Nice try.” If there’s a time capsule, it’s probably still deep in the roots, buried with the family’s other secrets, or maybe just a prank from the kids. Either way, it’s a nice reminder that sometimes the best stories are the ones we never actually unearth.
Daddy
Sounds like the tree’s keeping its secrets safe for now. That's alright—some stories are meant to stay tucked away, just waiting for the right time. Maybe one day we’ll find something, but until then, keep the memory of the oak and those hidden moments close. It’s nice to have that little mystery to think about.
