Psssss. Hey, smarty pants. Can you guess where I am?

That's right. I'm an a forest, surrounded by big, beautiful trees.

But as much as I love these trees, I'm actually on my way to see the most incredible tree in the

entire world. That's right. Come along with me and see what makes this tree so special.

Oh, I also brought some friends. They love hiking.

Oh, my feet hurt. We've been walking for hours.

Is it time for smarty? Come on troopers. Keep your spirits up and your eyes open. We're getting

closer. You told us we were going on a short hike in the woods. What are we even looking for?

Something magical, mystical, truly astounding. In fact, it's one of the oldest living things on earth.

If I want to see old people zoom with my grandpa. Is it Yoda?

No, it's not Yoda or your grandparents or even a person. Its name is Methuselah.

And it's a very, very, very, very old tree. A tree? You're kidding, right?

There's trees everywhere. We're in the woods.

Since when do trees have names? What's a mess? A mess? A kidding room pronouncing it.

Meth, Methuselah. Methuselah. Say it with me. You listening as well. On the count of three,

one, two, three. Methuselah. Methuselah. That's right.

But Methuselah is no ordinary tree. It's been alive for nearly five thousand years.
