Answer the Questions Correctly to Help Peikko Find His Way Home
INTRODUCTION:
The stories of Stupid Peikko are traditional Finnish folktales. There are many variations to the basic storylines and everytime I tell one of the stories, I end up adding or changing it a bit myself.
Peikko is a gnome who lives in Finland. He is very ugly. He has a short crooked body and bandy legs like all gnomes and he thinks himself to be quite clever. He likes to spend his time with humans and prides himself on being quite smarter than they are. But in fact, Peikko is really very stupid.
In this game, you must help Peikko find his way home. In order to do this you must answer all of the questions correctly. GOOD LUCK !
SCENE 1:
Peikko is running through the woods and sees Matti, a young man from the village whom he is always trying to outwit. Peikko tells Matti that he is in a hurry to get home and asks Matti to build him a bridge across the brook to help him on his way. Matti says that is too easy. Peikko tells Matti that this bridge must be very special. It must be made of neither wood nor stone nor iron.
QUESTION 1:
What did Matti use to make the bridge ?
