Bogle: Don’t ask if we need someone to make our porridge!
Crinkle: As long as you don’t call me ‘Goldilocks’, I won’t. Besides, I’m sure you can make your own porridge.
Bogle: What do you think, fellers? Shall we stay and talk to this creature?
Crinkle: Oh, please stay! I need your help.
Bogle: Hmmm. All right. We’ll give you a chance, but no funny comments, ok? Just remember that we are boglesnufflers and not bears!
Crinkle: Fine. You’re boglesnufflers, and I’m Crinkle.
Bogle: Never heard of a crinkle before. What are you? Some sort of pig?
Crinkle: Gramps sometimes says I am, but I’m not really. I’m a human.
Bogle: Human, eh? Well, we’ve certainly heard of those before. Nasty, vicious creatures that lie, cheat, steal, kill and even eat folk like us.
Crinkle: That’s not true! I’ve never eaten another creature in my life!
Bogle: Perhaps you haven’t but what about all the others?
Crinkle: I have to say that there are occasions when I’m ashamed to admit that I’m human. Some of us are not very nice.
Bogle: But you’re all right, are you?
Crinkle: I like to think so.
Bogle: You look harmless enough. What sort of help do you want, then?
Crinkle: Someone called Wibble wants me to ask lots of the forest folk if they will help to put a stop to some people who want to devastate the Greenwood.
Bogle: Huh! Humans, I’ll be bound.
Crinkle: In fact they’re not human, but their leader is.
Bogle: Thought as much. Bad lot, humans.
Crinkle: But will you help?
Bogle: What do we have to do?
Crinkle: I’d like one of you to go to the Wolfbreath Stone and think hard about being good.
Bogle: Sounds a silly sort of request to me. How will that help?
Crinkle: It will help to activate the magic triangle and neutralize the Mindstone that is causing the problem.
Bogle: That’s a bit too complicated for me to follow but I don’t mind thinking about being good.
Crinkle: That’s very good of you. I do appreciate your help.
