“Well, buttercups and bird’s nests! Who are you?” squeaked a mole, waving a wooden spoon at Daisy. “I’m hunting for magic food to help me defeat a monster,” explained Daisy.
The mole handed Daisy a bunch of carrots and said, “Take my advice – I’m very wise; These carrots will improve your eyes. If a monster you must fight, then munch on these for super-sight!” And the mole led Daisy out of the tunnel, snuffling and waffling about the juicy-licious carrot jelly he had been making.
