Home for Whom?

Hollow Tree Intrigue

Along a wooded trail a hole in a tree appeared and tempted the curious to discover what may lie within. Is it just a hollow in a tree, or is it a home for some unseen creature, perhaps a lizard, a toad, or a squirrel. I doubt that a bird would use it for a nest so low to the ground. Perhaps if one just took a peek, or felt within with a finger. But wait, what if it housed a wasp or a snake, or a large spider that would not like an uninvited guest?

So perhaps I should just keep my distance and marvel in the mystery. It could be that there are some things about these woods that you really don’t want to know.
