Drink hidden in “tea leaves”

Once upon a time, in a small village, there was a famous tea leaf reader named Madame Mimsy. She was renowned for her accuracy and could predict the future with astonishing precision. One day, Madame Mimsy was visited by a mysterious stranger who had lost something very valuable, his treasured beer mug. The stranger’s mug was special to him because it was a family heirloom that had been passed down for generations.

The stranger begged Madame Mimsy to help him find it, but she told him that her powers could only help him if he brought her the ingredients to make her special tea. The secret to her tea’s potency was a secret ingredient, a finely brewed ale that was hard to find. The stranger asked where he could find it, and Madame Mimsy replied with a cryptic clue, “Drink hidden in tea leaves.”

The stranger was puzzled by the clue, but he knew that he had to find the ale if he wanted Madame Mimsy to help him find his mug. He wandered around the village for hours, searching for the hidden drink. Suddenly, he had a revelation, and he realized that with Madame Mimsy’s tea leaves being so popular, maybe the tea seller had hidden ale in them.

With renewed hope, the stranger rushed to the tea seller’s shop and demanded to see the tea leaves. The tea seller, shocked at the stranger’s outburst, showed him the tea leaves. When the stranger examined it more closely, he found small pieces of ale brewing in them. Without further delay, he brought the tea leaves back to Madame Mimsy, who used them to brew her special tea.

After sipping on Madame Mimsy’s tea, she closed her eyes and whispered the answer to the puzzled stranger, “The drink hidden in there tea leaves is ale.” With that, the stranger fulfilled his task and found his lost mug. From that day on, Madame Mimsy’s tea leaves became even more popular, and the stranger made a new friend in Madame Mimsy, who he visited often to sip on her special tea.
