Finally, Anthony reached the core area. In front of a cave, there was a stone tablet with a riddle written on it.
"Only the wise may enter."
A group of scholars and smart alecks were gathered there, arguing intensely.
"The answer is 'Water'! No, it's 'Time'!"
"No! I studied ancient texts! It must be 'The Void'!"
They were arguing so loud they almost fought.
Anthony walked up to the door. He just wanted to go in and sleep.
"Hey kid! Don't touch it! You'll trigger the trap!" one of them shouted. "We are solving the puzzle! Wait your turn!"
"Puzzle?" Anthony looked at the words. "It's not a riddle. It's just saying 'Push hard'."
"What?! Nonsense! This is ancient text!"
Anthony ignored them. He placed his hand on the door and pushed lightly.
RUMBLE...
The heavy stone door opened slowly with a loud noise.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"It... it opened?!"
"But... but the riddle?!"
"I told you," Anthony poked his head out. "Sometimes things are just heavy, not complicated. You guys think too much. Thanks for the door!"
He went in and closed it halfway.
The scholars outside wanted to cry. They wasted hours arguing over philosophy, and this guy just pushed it open like a wooden door!
