An answer waited under one folded square;
Alice Mole opened it—nothing useful there.
Because the obvious card named the wrong thing,
she passed the deck without forcing its meaning.

Callen Crow received a raindrop mark;
because it matched a damp fold, one corner grew dark.
He kept that clue and passed the deck along,
so no one hand could claim the answer strong.

Aydin found three tiny step-shaped lines;
because Haylee held the drop clue, both could combine.
Haylee turned a window flap to meadow light;
together, their clues made the little-library step right.

No one held all clues; each held one part.
Because they traded questions, they could change the start.
The extra flat tile looked like one thing more—
until newcomer Haylee named its job at the arch floor.

At blackberry arch, a shallow muddy thread
made the nearest firm footholds hard to tread.
Because Haylee set the extra tile between,
Alice added two flat blocks to make a crossing clean.

Callen placed the folded deck as the final span;
Aydin checked each steady piece before anyone began.
They crossed the little bridge one careful pair at a time,
while five-minute drops kept a quiet meadow rhyme.

Because the bridge had done its single job,
Haylee lifted the tile from the soft wet clod.
Alice took the blocks; Callen folded the deck;
Aydin checked the arch path clear from edge to edge.

The little-library step stayed only in their clues,
not a place they reached or a route they had to choose.
At ribbon meadow, their changed answer stayed:
four useful roles—and no bridge left displayed.
