In "The Lemon Tree Forest," a curious encounter unfolds as a young boy's fascination with medieval knights leads him to meet Sir Fred, an enigmatic old squire. Amidst the manor's grandeur, they cross paths under a glass dome, surrounded by suits of armor and ancestral portraits. The boy extends his hand in awe, asking, "Are you Sir Cricket Bat?" Sir Fred's response is unexpected: "Would you like a balloon?" He conjures a colorful orb from the shadows, leaving the child enchanted. The origin of the balloon remains a mystery, as Sir Fred never indulged in frivolous purchases.
