Glirdingo decided to continue straight. This day. It was a pleasent sunny day and the warmth from the sun was quite uplifting. Every now and then, he took breaks for food and water and once stopped at a fast running stream and filled his canteen with cold water.

This was about midday. After about ten more minutes of walking, he entered a field full of flowers. "Well, this is pleasent!" he thought happily, and strolled on. He had only walked for a few more minutes when he noticed something strange about the flowers. "These flowers have a strange smell, not like tulips or other such flowers,: he thought silently. It was then that it started happening. His eyes had begun to water and his nose was really itching.

He wiped away the water from his eyes and tried to continue on but stopped almost immeadiately because they started watering again. Then he started sneezing and couldn't stop. "These flowers (ACHOO!) have a st(ACHOO!)range and nox(ACHOO!)ious smell!! I must (ACHOO!) get out of th(ACHOO!)is field!" he cried.

He wiped his eyes once more and tried to see the end of the field. But his eyes (which started to water again) and his nose prevented it. "I must walk on!" he cried desperately and bumbled on through the flower field. He kept wipping at his eyes to make them stop watering, but nothing worked. Finally, he took his canteen out of his sack and splashed his face with some water. His eyes had stopped watering!! But he couldn't stop sneezing and his eyes were still really itchy from the smell. "Well, it might not have stopped fully, but for now, it will do," he thought.

He walked and walked for what seemed like ages. Finally, he bumbled out of the field and fell face first on the ground. He wiped his face on the smooth grass and stood up. His eyes stopped watering completely and he stopped sneezing!! "Well!! This is a surprise!! It seems that grass contains some sort of anti-agent for the smell of the flowers!"

With that, he turned his back on the flower field and continued on his long journey to the hoard of gold.
