A Gift from the Heart?

Say, do you think you could help me out? I'm in a bit of trouble at the moment. You see, my wife's birthday was some time ago, but I...was so busy managing the town, that I didn't...have time... Look, I forgot about her birthday, okay? And, of course, my wife has been angry with me since then. I want to get her something to make up for is, but as you can see, I'm absolutely swamped with my duties. You seem like a resourceful person...could you get me something for my wife?

Great. My wife loves to cook, you know. And I really like...I mean, my wife really likes cooking Blue Mushroom Caps, but the price for them has gone through the roof. I can't afford them on my salary, but anyone tough enough to fight Blue Mushrooms can get them. Deep inside of the Singing Mushroom Forest, there's a place called Blue Mushroom Forest, just full of them. Please go there and get 10 Blue Mushroom Caps. Once you have them, take them to my wife, Mrs. Ming Ming.

Oh, is that so? Hmph. You don't look like you're doing anything else important now. You're not a slacker, are you?

Oh, hello! What are...say, are those Blue Mushroom Caps? For me? Goodness, thank you! I've been wanting to get some for awhile now.

These are from Chief Stan.

Really? From my husband? So...are these supposed to be a gift?

Yeah...it wasn't my idea.

Ha! No, that's just the kind of thing Stan would do. He's a fine Chief, but he's not the brightest husband in the world, if you know what I mean. Still, this is so silly, it's almost cute.

I get the impression he doesn't really know what women want.

Oh, you can say that again! He calls this a present, but it's really just more work. Oh, well. I'd better get to it...these caps aren't going to clean themselves. Thanks for helping my poor, dense husband out.

Poor Stan...he just doesn't understand women.

It's been so long since we had a nice Blue Mushroom Stew. I wonder why Stan never brings any Blue Mushroom Caps home...
