Children of the grove congregate near the stream, tapping and clicking excitedly, while the Elders make preparations in their ceremonial tent. From here you can see the Spring Temple, high atop the mountain.

Taiko explains that the kitsune has stolen Sordino's sound. Has a drum to beat but it makes no noise. Fox of the Haunt challenges Alto to a trial of wits, asks a few different trivia questions - including ones related to locations Alto can't access. Tom-Tom must explore the festival, or ask the whispering wind. What is the shape on Tempo's belly? How many melons are there at Largo's fruit stall? How many Elders reside in the ceremonial tent? What colour are the Windspeaker's robes? Fruit stall: Largo's prized cucumber has gone missing. Won't talk to Tom-Tom about it - Tom-Tom's uncle is Largo's biggest competitor. Asks Alto to investigate. Find handprints leading through grove, into the woods, up a tree. Discovers that a monkey has stolen it. Monkey dialogue tree puzzle, need to offer banana from stall. Fruit merchant gives Alto a plum. Instead of cucumber: Lucky acorn? Relic? Pet rock? Alto known to be a detective? Tom-Tom conflict of interest? Random law, acorns banned? Put Largo out of reach except by tree branch. Up in a zelkova tree. Tempo's broken knife: Needs a new knife. Tom-Tom needs to offer the juggler sconces from Temple in exchange for knife.
