Tread carefully, however, as the path quickly narrows and there are no walls. Instead, perilous drop-offs await on both sides should one slip.

Soon, you come to another fork. From where you stand, the only different you can notice is that one path looks wider, at least as far as you can see, that is. Nothing else betrays what may lie ahead. Which way? Left and narrow or right and wide?

Making a face at the weird, vibrating plant as he climbed, Fletcher hurried up the stalk and reached the top of the cliff at last. He cast one last look down at where he had come, and gave the beanstalk a two-finger salute. Thanks bud.

He turned to face the path ahead of him and right away noticed the scary, sheer drop-offs to his right and left. Gulp. Best not walk that way. Instead, Fletcher carefully stepped down the middle of the cliff. He realized he didn't need the shield anymore and instead went back to using his wand as an additional light source.

Eventually, the narrow cliff path came to a dead end. Here he was again, with the choice to go left or right. Well. For some reason, he felt that going left again would be like going in a circle. And it was really really narrow.

His mind easily made up, Fletcher chose the wide, right fork instead. How huge were these caves?!!
