Chatty Hungry Plant

You have found a most unusual plant in the plant shop in PnF land. It appears exciting and has a face that looks as if it could almost speak to you. You turn away, unsure if this is the plant you want today. You hear a rustling, and then you hear a voice.

“Take me home, oh please take me home and give me tender care. I like a semi-sunny window, and you only have to feed me once a week. I won’t be any bother, and in return, I can give you hours of stimulating conversation and play board games with you.”

The plant did speak, of course, it did. This is PnF land, and anything is possible. You ask the plant some questions.

The plant produces a wide grin, waving leafy arms around, and says, “I eat whatever you are eating, bits of cheese, perhaps some leftover lasagna, or a nice bit of roast, and I get along well with others. Oh, please, won’t you take me home? This shop is boring, and I long to belong to a family.”

You think about the offer. It is a most unusual plant and would be a great friend—you hope, on days when you want to stay inside and read or play games.

What do you think? Do you have a place for this chatty plant?

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.
