HEY ELDARION…
I want free candy!
…but Mama said not to talk with strangers.
I am no stranger! I’m just a harmless old grandpa with no grandchildren of his own to dote on. I would just love to find a little boy to give lots of toys and candy to. Wouldn’t you like that?
Yes, but Uncle Gimli says you’re not on the safe list, so I can’t. And I already have a grandfather…
I think your Uncle Gimli is confusing me with someone else. He must be thinking of Saroomann, the creepy guy who works at Helm’s Depot in the ladder department. I’m quite safe. After all, everyone who gives out free candy is nice. Just come sit on my lap and I will tell you a special story!
