Shopping Smarts

Quest Text He's a swindler.
It's better to buy a basket from Aro even though it takes longer.

Summary You have to be careful when buying things.
I knew a guy who really wanted a dragon,
so he bought a dragon's egg from a merchant
for the price of a yak.
But when the egg hatched,
out came this strange bird in place of a dragon.
The guy got angry and went to complain
but the merchant was long gone by then.
He went mental from anger and had to stay in bed for a few months.
Eventually, he gave up his dream of raising a dragon and focused on farming.
So on top of losing the price of a yak for nothing,
he now doesn't trust a single soul.
The moral is that you always have to be careful around merchants,
and it doesn't hurt to be suspicious of mysterious objects either.
