There is a place you can go to forget all your problems. A place to get sick when you are sick of life, or life is sick of you. It is called the Fever Tree.
The Fever Tree stands alone on a hill at the bottom of the valley. In front of the tree, you will find a notebook and a pen. Write your problems or worries on a page, then tear that page out. There is a hollow in the tree; put the page in there. You can fold it, crumple it up, doesn't matter. After you put the paper in the hollow, put the notebook and pen down where you found it, if you haven't already, and take a fruit hanging from one of the branches of the tree.
Go down the hill, with the fruit in your hand, and look for a cave. When you find one, walk inside and take a bite of the fruit. Make sure you only take one bite, no more, or you might not be able to come back. After taking a bite of the fruit, it is advised that you sit down, or you might fall.
You will be consumed by a fever that is as bad as your problems, and you will temporarily forget your problems. Don't worry, the fever won't kill you, as long as you only took one bite. If you took more than one bite, we can't guarantee your safety. When the fever disappears, you won't be as worried about your problems. You can exit the cave, leave the valley, and go back to your life.
Remember, the Fever Tree is always there if you become too overwhelmed by your problems and want a little escape.
