For a boy with a hundred thousand questions, each overrunning the other before he can ask them, life is full of things that have yet to be discovered. As such, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to his parents that he often finds himself away from home, that he runs after something that interests him and barely escapes the trouble that follows.
That he sometimes doesn’t escape trouble, like when he met a guy in the meadow who knew the way home better than himself, or like now when he finds himself gathering with several others staring at some sort of door to someplace, wouldn’t be a surprise for anyone either. In fact Oren would not be surprised if he wasn’t the only one of his family here, if he had stopped to think about it. He doesn’t stop or think however: he sees the impressive creature emerging with his question and all he can think is:
”Trick! Trick!” He bounces up and down a little, hoping to see something exciting. Or perhaps the question wasn’t about Oren getting anything? He stops and tilts his head with that thought, then shrugs and gets excited again as others around him answer the question in their own ways. There’s bound to be some tricks AND treats to be seen! Even if they turn out not to be for him.
