The phone call
The bizarre discovery had a profound impact on that day’s work. They wouldn’t be able to use this tree, so that counted as a loss. But what’s inside was so special that it had to be important and valuable. So they decided to stay focused on the find. The rest of the trees would follow later.
The team called their manager. The discovery was so special that they didn’t quite know how to go on. The manager did not respond the way the loggers had expected at all. Rather than being curious about the unusual discovery, he told his employees to just continue chopping. They had no time for mysteries.
