The Fox's Riddle

In A Child Named Loveless Rose and Erica encounter a talking fox after climbing the stairs up to the forest level of the Tower.

The talking fox then gives the two a riddle that needs to be solved in order for the two of them to get to the next level of the Tower.

"Two guardians stand at two paths.

One tells truths to those that pass.

The other is deceitful and tells only lies,

Yet travelers believe they see honesty in his eyes.

When asked who's the liar, they both point to each other.

To those wishing to proceed it's truly a bother.

For only one question can be posed to these two,

Choose the wrong path and harm comes to you.

So, go on ahead but be warned and be wary.

Take time to think before testing your theory."
