The Woods Past the Carnival

It is a warm, summer day. Your friend, Kaelynn, has given you a ticket to come and attend the Timberwood Carnival. You have decided to come, and so you are packing up your backpack. As you put in the essentials, you realize there's only enough space to put in one more item, an item not necessarily needed. You decide to put in your cellphone, and then you get up off the couch to get into the car.
Then you realize that there is no gas. What a pity! Kaelynn used your car last night to go and buy food for your dorm, and unfortunately, she forgot to fill up on the diesel. You have a coupon for a free taxi ride from Wooden Cars, you can call Kaelynn to give you a lift with her other friend, Jax, or you can just walk the long and rocky road up to the carnival. Along the road, there is a gift shop you can use to buy a gift for Kaelynn, as tomorrow is her birthday and you also have to work on a long paper, meaning there will be no time to buy anything for her.
