[granny-griffin]

You are in the Gargoyle Garden.

There is a way to go north;

spread as broad ribbon tied

through sleeping hair.

Tread softly

and Beware!

She is a sphinx, sly and cunning—

even in sleep crouched, ready to pounce

with a twisted smile stretched upon her lips.

Drink not from yonder fountain

nor tread down unknown stair

lest you move some loosened stone

and awaken her. While unaware

of you she slumbered you walked half safely,

but seeing you she springs and you find that—

You are in the Gargoyle Garden.

There is a way to go north.
