Have you ever travel at night? I don't mean travel by good car with cell phone, GPS, iSomething and tank full of petrol. No. :)  I mean traveling by horse or on foot with paper map or verbal way description and along the forest or field roads. If you haven't you can imagine. On the one hand there are many nice advantages - fresh air, the sky full of stars and no traffic, but on the other hand you have the risk to lose your way and to freeze or you can be eaten by wolfs if you travel in winter. So only one person can help you and give a refuge. His name is  Road Gnome. Every night he lights his old lamp and puts it on the high post near his house. And every person can see this light for many-many miles and come to Road Gnome to have a rest and to ask the right way. He will cook hot tea for you, offer to seat or to lie if you are tired and will take care about your horse. And after some time you can go on. But while you are relaxing you can hear a lot of interesting stories... :)
