16. The storm came over the hills and swept down upon the greenwood with deafening "A" and vivid "B". The storm-king himself rode upon the blast; his horses breathed flames, and his chariot trailed through the air like a "C" of fire. The ash fell before the violence of the storm-king's fury, and the cedars groaning fell, and the hemlocks and the pines; but the oak-tree alone quailed not.

17. "Oho!" cried the storm-king, angrily, "the oak-tree does not bow to me, he does not "D" in my presence. Well, we shall see."

18. With that the storm-king hurled a mighty thunderbolt at the oak-tree, and the brave, strong monarch of the greenwood was riven. Then, with a shout of triumph, the storm-king rode away.

19. "Dear oak-tree, you are riven by the storm-king's thunderbolt!" cried the ivy, in "E".

20. "Ay," said the oak-tree, feebly, "my end has come; see, I am "F" and helpless."


PART B - CHALLENGE
Complete all the requirements to log a find and earn your smiley.

1. Complete 4 geoart images by turning blue UNKNOWNS to smileys.
NOTE: There are some geoart images that use traditional caches. You may substitute two of these traditional geoarts for one unknown geoart.

2. Include the first GC number of the geoart series. You may list additional GC numbers if you wish.

3. You are not required to find this cache container on the same day you fulfilled the challenge requirements. You may find this cache prior to qualifying. Just sign the log and write a note on the cache page. Then when you qualify, you may claim a find for this cache.

4. Your cache events/placements do not count toward this goal.

5. You do not need to obtain permission from the cache owner before logging this find. Your log/bookmark/screenshot confirms that you have fulfilled the requirements.
