As Spoonman lay on the grass and noticed Jenny's big grin getting bigger and bigger, he realised that something was not right. At that instant Spoonman jumped up and started to run. He ran and ran and ran and then for about another 11 minutes he ran again. Little did Spoonman know however, that Jenny was much faster.. She pursued Spoonman until he ran out of oomph and then collapsed into another pile on the ground. Something familiar happened once again to Spoonman. He awoke with a gentle nudging feeling. Again it was Jenny and in complete disbelief as to what had happened during the past 11or so minutes, Spoonman finally asked Jenny "what is going on Jenny?...Why did you chase me?" Jenny looked sheepishly into Spoonman's eyes and said "Oh dear little Spoonman... There is something I need to tell you". Spoonman looked in confusion as Jenny continued "You see Spoonman, we have been waiting for you for a very long time... We first heard of your great courageous ways and exuberant dancing abilities back in December. You are the only living descendant of our great chief 'Ogservalode'". He was bitten by a very venomous tree sap eating beetle and you are his only hope of survival. Sir Ogservalode has been on a steady decline for the past 4 months and you are the only one who can possibly save him.
Spoonman still in complete shock, able to utter a word, looks at Jenny.. and immediately She knew. "Quick Spoonman... we have not much time to save the Great Sir Ogservalode". By this time Spoonman had come to terms with the task at hand and gained had also gained his speech mechanism back. He asks Jenny "But how can I help Jenny? ....Im just a Spoon. How could I possibly help Sir Ogservalode? ... Please tell me what I have to do." Jenny looks at Spoonman and says "Spoonman... Only you have the answer. Only you Spoonman.. Only You." With that.. Jenny took Spoonman up along the mountains and through the valley to where the Chief lay in his sick solemn state.
As soon as Spoonman entered the premises, he felt a big gust of sorrow breeze over him. He started to feel anxious (like he has many times before ... refer to episode 1). Jenny noticed this and stood up (with her head almost poking out the top of the hut) and said to Spoonman "Don't be nervous Spoonman.. You can do this! ... You were brought here for a reason... We believe in you" .. Spoonman got a red glow on his face (possibly due to the love and assurance just received from Jenny.. or maybe the from the fire in the hut that was keeping Sir Ogservalode warm.)
Spoonman moved closer to Sir Ogservalode and froze as he saw exactly what the bite of the very venomous tree sap eating beetle had done to poor Sir Ogservalode.
What did the beetle do?
What monstrosity was Spoonman faced with??
