The human awoke, stretching with a big yawn.
"What a night," he mumbled.
"It's been longer than that," the tree whispered.
He observed the aged branches, the unchanged sky and the wildness of his loyal horse.
"Well, t'was the best sleep I've had, I feel so refreshed... Who is now king?"
The tree told him.
"Sounds like it's time to remove that saddle and groom my horse," remarked the man, "Then it'll be time for another refreshing nap."
