Toadette was conversing with Madame Grunty from outside her tent.

"...So how do you make money if you just give out free things and beatings?" Toadette asked her.

"Ah, when I give beatings, I take something of worth to my victims! Why, when that bear and bird win a beating, I take their honeycomb!" Madame Grunty stated.

Toadette gasped, her hand over her mouth. "Well that sure is one way to make money."

"Why, the other day when that Space Princess came by and won a beating from me, I took her undergarments!" Madame Grunty admitted.

Toadette stuck her tongue out in disgust. "Eew! Were they clean?"

"You tell me!" Madame Grunty responded. "Her butt sings a lot, you see."

Toadette shook her head in dismay. "But why would you want to collect those?"

"Silly mushroom girl! I am but a witch! I used magic to turn it into cash, which was a cinch!" Madame Grunty explained, reverting back to rhyme.

"Oh yeah." Toadette realized. "Silly me!" Toadette giggled.

"Yes. It is a spell that I discovered, you see. A spell to turn material objects into cash with ease." Madame Grunty added.

Toadette gaped a bit. "So this is how your business will go?"

Madame Grunty nodded, despite being hidden inside her tent. "That is correct, mushroom girl. But keep in mind that there is only so much that the author can do with this." she stated, speaking out of rhyme again.
