The Tortoise's Riddle

One sunny morning at the zoo, the keeper sets down a clear puzzle-box packed full of the juiciest fruit treats — and no one leans in faster than Remy, the quick little ring-tailed lemur who wants everything RIGHT NOW. Treats! he chirps, and dashes straight at the box. He shakes it, bangs it, spins it, rolls it round and round — but not one treat comes out, and the faster he rushes the grumpier he gets. How do you open a box like this? See what happens next on MoonNest.

Remy is rushing in fastest of all. Bright and inviting.
