A stranger approaches you, travel-worn and elderly. They state they they have travelled far and wide to searccch for something lost to time. They clarify that you cannot directly help, but that by choosing one of six items, you can assist them greatly in an unforseen way. They present to you thusly, in order; An egg made of gold, a harp made of bone, a piece of tree bark with the names of strangers carved into it, a bowl made of polished stone, a glass bird, and a small painting of a tree on a hill. The wanderer states that each of these items has great, unseen value, that can only be detrmined by what one sees each item to symbolize. Which item do you pick, and what does it symbolize?

You are hiking along a lengthy pathway. Before you are three seperate roads, with a sign in front of each. The first clarifies that it is a scenic path, that stretch across tall mountains and sizeable rivers. The second states that all along it are a myriad of plants and animals not commonly seen, with informational posts along the way to teach people not only about the flora and fauna, but of the history of this area, as well as other interesting tidbits, and is specifically built with the environment and its safety in mind while also ensuring the hiker can enjoy their trek. The third path states that while it has neither beatiful views, nor intriguing information, but it is a very relaxing path, and is said to strengthen the bonds of friendship of those who treck into it. Which path do you choose, and why that one over the others?
