 - Extract data from a JSON file and print it to the CLI
 - Add support for YAML
 
+## Instructions
+
+You're going to build a command-line application that reads data from files.
+
+Let's say you have a `garden.json` file like this, containing data about what's growing in our garden:
+
+```json
+{
+  "flowers": [
+    {
+      "name": "Great Maiden's Blush",
+      "genus": "Rosa",
+      "species": "Rosa × alba",
+      "color": "white",
+      "height": 2.2
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "Bright Gem",
+      "genus": "Tulipa",
+      "species": "Tulipa linifolia",
+      "color": "Yellow/orange",
+      "height": 0.17
+    },
+    {
+      "name": "Elizabeth",
+      "genus": "Magnolia",
+      "species": "M. acuminata × M. denudata",
+      "color": "Pale yellow",
+      "height": 9.6
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The tool you will build will extra data from this file. Here are some examples:
+
+```bash
+> get-data ".flowers[0].name" garden.json
+"Great Maiden's Blush"
+
+> get-data ".flowers[1].height" garden.json
+2.2
+
+> get-data ".flowers[2]" garden.json
+{"name": "Elizabeth", "genus": "Magnolia", "species": "M. acuminata × M. denudata", "color": "Pale yellow", "height": 9.6 }
+```
