Lavender-Hued Gnome

Hehe, Hoho. It's off to gather some fruit I go.

Hey, hi, top of the morning to you.

Are you here to gather fruit as well? It is going to be a splendid day. Oh, I should introduce myself to you—we have not met, have we?

I am a gnome, a lavender gnome, one of the gnomes that live in this area that gather fruit, blueberries, grapes, plums and purple cabbage. Some gnomes look after animals, some gnomes go mining and gnomes that like to make shoes; we are the gnomes that love to harvest fruit, especially purple fruits and vegetables.

Join me for some fun, and you can eat as you pick the fruit, which is why we like to harvest fruit so much; we gnomes love to eat.

Your pet becomes an expert at finding its own food!

As long as there have been moles, there have been opal miners (opals being their chief goal, but by no means their only one).

Each mole community has their specialty, of course, and the town of Molington was certainly no exception. As neighboring mole communities usually specialized in such pursuits as worm digging and tunnel building (a skill quite different from opal mining, as any mole can tell you that has had the unpleasant experience of dwelling very long in an abandoned opal mine) the citizens of Molington seldom saw the need to train their pups in any other pursuit besides mining the rare and beautiful opals that were hidden beneath the rich countryside they called home. All other tasks were happily taken on by their neighbors, who were quite willing to trade their hard work for the beautiful opals of Molington.

As the mines of Molington became deeper and deeper, the task of transporting their finds to the surface became more challenging. Each mole took great pride in their daily tally of opals found (and every mole could identify every opal they had ever found, even years later). Transporting them became a matter of passing them up to the surface, mole to mole. As each mole hated to quit until absolutely necessary, they began tossing them so that less moles were needed to get them to the surface. Soon it became a game to see how far they could get their daily bounty, and to increase their skill in this, they began holding yearly contests. Moles from miles around would come and compete for the title of Champion Opal Tosser.
