The box rattles, then it shows the finished word:

moku

The word for food and drink. A loud rumble fills the room. Then another rumble. And again. It repeats over and over, and gets faster - the floor is shaking from the sound. You have a queasy feeling in your stomach and quickly run through the tunnel into the city.

No sooner are you out than a torrent of bottles and food shoots out of the tunnel behind you. Bread, fruit, bottled water, vegetables, beer, fruit you've never seen before, candy canes, cheese and much, much more fills the city. You are amazed because the tunnel never stops producing new food and drink.

The city and the surrounding countryside quickly become the center of trade. The inhabitants, including those of your village, want for nothing.
