+"""
+In the ancient city of Numeria,
+legends speak of an oracle whose whispers
+could bend the very fabric of mathematics.
+Travelers from distant lands would bring
+her a number, and in return, she would reveal
+its future: the very next prime number.
+Your task is to embody the oracle's wisdom.
+You will be given a number.
+You must find the smallest prime number
+that is strictly greater than it.
