I am an animal that lives under the bridge. I like to eat the scraps that the people leave. I enjoy scaring anyone that comes under the bridge.
Got anything to eat?  Perhaps you?  You seem a little bony, though. I may smell like peppermint and honey, but I can promise you I taste like nothing of the sort. Here have some nuts. *throws nuts to animal* Thank you  Your welcome. Now, do  you know how to call upon the spirit of this tree? I know many things, Grandfather.  You must first present your offerings. But, I just gave you food. Don't be greedy. Not to me, old fool!  To the spirits.  The spirits require a small sacrifice, a drop of blood and most of all - your need must be very great indeed. I have this plant. I think you have more than you are saying.  Yes, this will do fine. No! That is what I need the spirits to enchant! It is for my grandchild, she is gravley ill Well I see your need is great, perhaps the plant will do.  But that still leaves the blood.  A drop will sometimes do but doesn't it make sense to provide a great deal more? I will sacrifice my left arm. But, will you do it for me?
