Garden of Five Surprises

The garden of Lu-Tze in the Oi Dong monastry of the History Monks.

The five surprises are discovered by Lobsang Ludd in Thief of Time:

• the little tilting bridge, which throws you into the carp pool
• the way the little daisies spray you with venomous pollen
• the bronze butterfly that flaps its wings when you breathe on it
• the yodelling stick insect
• Lu-Tze himself.

Alternatively, instead of Lu-Tze, the fifth surprise may be, instead:

• A cheap carnival mask, which Lu-Tze dons when asked by Ludd.

Note that Lu-Tze never said that the fifth surprise was particularly good.
