Suddenly because of the lack of perspicacious among them they felt a sense of interdependence. They were lost. Not a soul in sight. Everyone considering their imposing doom did not say a word for knowledge that any words would just be codswallop in this situation. Suddenly a Wizard appeared.

plethora of clues to decipher,
Hi diddle diddle,

Those would be the only words I would ever hear him say.
