“My LUNCH !! “ Star turned towards Tippy the Troll “Is the answer “Lunch and Dinner?” “Oh! You are clever” said Tippy. “You are correct and may cross my bridge”. Cheering they all ran across the bridge. Star remembering that Tippy the Troll was always hungry, and Said “If you can tell me how many apples you can put in an empty box, I’ll give you that many apples”. “Well then” said Tippy “I would like one apple, because after you put one apple in the empty box, the box isn’t empty anymore”. “Very good” said Star “ Here is an apple, and thank you for letting us use your bridge”. Soon the six children found Concobar and the entrance to his cave. He was sitting on a tree stump scratching his pointy ears. Star explained what had happened to her woggle and asked if they could look in his cave for it. “Yes you may” he said “but before you enter the Cave , I have a few items to help you if you want them? A matchbox containing one match, an oil lamp, and a candle.

“That would be very kind of you” said Moon “No Problem”, Said the old elf with a twinkle in his eye “However, you can only have them if you can tell me which one you’ll light first? Think carefully as you’ll only get one guess”. This time Star knew the answer straight away, and she whispered it into Concobar’s ear. “Yes” he said “Star you are too good for my puzzles. You may take the items. Try looking in my bedroom, because something bounced off my ear and woke me up when I was having my afternoon nap”. “Thanks” said Star. “What was the answer?” asked Moon “the candle?” “Nope” said star picking up the match box “to light any of them you need to light the match first”. Using the oil lamp and candle they found Star’s woggle in Concobar’s bedroom just as he said. Star was very happy to have found her lost woggle. “What an adventure we’ve had” she said as they all began to walk home. “I wonder what’s for dinner” said Spike, and they all began to laugh and giggle.
