When the weather turns bad, Verão finds them a cave where they find a mountain man (Bran thinks he is a [[Casa Liddle|Liddle]]) who shares his food with them. When they ask if they should take the [[Estrada do Rei]], the mountain man tells them that it's dangerous for travelers. Now there are [[Casa Bolton|flayed men]] and dead men. He tells them that [[Jeor Mormont|o Urso]] disappeared north of the [[Muralha]] with most of his men and that his [[Patrulha da Noite]] had returned with no messages. He says things were different when there was a Stark in Winterfell. Jojen tells him that the wolves will return. In the morning the man is gone, but he left some food for them. {{Ref|aSoS|24}}

As they move on, Bran tells the Reeds that both he and Hodor like stories about knights. Meera then proceeds to tell a story about the [[Cavaleiro da Árvore que Ri]] no Ano da Falsa Primavera. It starts out when a young cranogmano who knew many magics of his people (likely [[Howland Reed]], Meera's father) traveled to visit the [[Ilha das Caras]] and stayed there for a winter. In the year of the false spring, he leaves and comes upon [[Harrenhal|um grande castelo]] where [[Torneio de Harrenhal|um grande torneio]] is taking place. He runs into three squires who start a fight with him. A two-legged [[Lyanna Stark|loba]] rescued the cranogmano, attacking the squires and running them off with a tourney sword. She then takes him back to her lair. She insists the lad attend the tourney feast as he has a rightful place at the table. At the feast, he sees the squires with their knights. He is offered the chance to take the squires on in the joust, but the little cranogmano declines, since eles are not trained for jousting and he would most likely lose. Late on the second day, however, a short mystery knight in ill-fitting armor appears and defeats the squires served - [[Casa Haigh|o cavaleiro forquilha]], [[Casa Blount|o cavaleiro porco-espinho]], e [[Casa Frey|o cavaleiro das duas torres]]. To ransom their horses and armor, the mystery knight, in a booming voice, only requires the knights to teach their squires honor. The knight then disappeared from the lists, leading the king to send his own son, [[Rhaegar Targaryen|príncipe-dragão]], to search for the Cavaleiro da Árvore que Ri. The next day, all that was found of the mystery knight was the knight's shield painted with a heart tree with a laughing red face. Meera concludes the story by saying o príncipe-dragão went on to win the tourney. {{Ref|aSoS|24}}

Bran complains about the story, saying the Cavaleiro da Árvore que Ri should have won the whole tourney and the donzela-lobo should have been crowned as the [[Rainha do Amor e da Beleza]]. Meera says she was, but that that was a sadder story. {{Ref|aSoS|24}} Throughout the telling, Jojen repeatedly asks Bran if he's sure he hasn't heard this story before from his father.

Jojen tells them they have to find shelter since a storm is coming. There is a holdfast, [[Coroadarrainha]] in the middle of the lake, but Meera notes that they have no boat. Bran tells them that Velha Ama said there's a stone causeway hidden under the water, and Meera easily finds the beginning of it once she knows it's there.
