Gnomes of paradise

Chris and I were sitting next to one of the hot springs today when He noticed a garden gnome across the way enjoying the steam. With excitement we made our way over to him.  

Upon his head was a phylactery, not with the hebrew law, but a note that read "Check my boots".  Hoping to find a treasure map, we quickly searched his boots (not a common practice for us) for anything that would lead to gold. We did find a letter, but not a map.  It gave explanation and instruction. Apparently, this was a twisted  game of hide and seek.  We were told that many had played and the responsibility was now ours to hide him.So we stuffed the letter back in his boot and put him somewhere on campus. For anyone that is on campus I wish you the best of luck. For anyone back home, don't be discouraged cause you can't play, because you can play. I encourage you to start your own game with some rare object. It may sound ridiculous, but I assure you, whoever finds that object will have a smile brought to their face and should be happy to participate and be a part of putting more smiles on more faces.
