Task: Question Generation

Jack was sent a catalog by Dr.Sinja and demands an explanation also include the Boddhi Tree. Dr.Sinja goes to Jack's house and explains that for every word that Jack says, a leaf will fall off of the tree. When the tree runs out of leaves, the tree will die, along with Jack. In time, he finds that even written words count towards his limit, plus anything that happens to the Tree will also affect Jack.
