Meneltarmacil heard an ear-splitting screech as a young hobbit picked up his little "gift", and could barely keep himself from laughing out loud. He helped himself to some of the food, including a rather generous helping of Toffee Shock. Suddenly, he felt something strange. He barely managed to spit the candy out before it exploded, knocking him backward. He didn't have a soft landing, as he smacked into a number of pots and pans.
"Just my luck." he said, then remembered hearing an "OUCH!" directly behind him. He got up, turned around, and (to his astonishment), realized that the pots and pans were in fact being worn by a very strange little man.
"I'm very sorry," he apologized. "I didn't realize that the candy was so dangerous."
