- No, I mean the one where you use the fire rod on the giant mosquito skull.
- (I know it's not a mosquito, but someone here on the net called it that, and
- it fits...)

- 1. If you take a fish and throw it in water, it will be so happy that you saved
- it that it will give you 20 Rupees.
-
- 2. If you give a fish to the bottle salesman, he will give you arrows and bombs
- and rupees.

- Yes, but I tried that on them in the dungeon where three of them block the
- access to a button under a pot. It didn't do anything. Apparently, it only
- works on ones that are not bound.

-
- The third party hint book says you can catch him. They've got a screen shot
- of him caught. It's not that useful to do -- he just expresses surprise at
- how fast you are, and tells you about running into trees to knock out items.
-
- Speaking of knocking items out of trees, what are those red things that come
- out of some trees? They act like hearts. They look like tomatoes -- but
- tomatoes seem to be a silly thing to eat to restore life! Does anyone know
- what their official name is?
