Standing Stone

The Standing Stone is a large stone sculpture that appears in Mother Goose Stories.
The goslings are excited when they find a special stone in their garden with a carved face and cryptic untranslatable text. Their mother explains it is a standing stone, a stone someone put there long, long ago. No one knows who put it there or what it says. The goslings theorize that it might be there to challenge people to jump over (like the Great Candle of the Glimmers in the story of "Jack Be Nimble").
After hearing the story of Jack and the candlestick the goslings leave, but the stone speaks out to the female gosling saying "Listen. If you like I'll tell you now. It says on me 'here stood the great candle on the pillar.'" Shocked that the stone can speak, the gosling runs to tell her brothers but they don't believe her.
