After their experience with that swamp-beast, Luke didn't think it to be any good. 
He looked around carefully, but couldn't make out anyone or, better to say, anything 
through the sifting fog. 

I must have been wrong. Again. 

He turned his head around to take another bite of the bar and almost jumped out of his 
skin. 

In front of him a small green creature had appeared out of nowhere. It had large eyes 
and long pointed ears. And it was dressed in a gray-brown tunic. 

Luke hadn't heard of a creature like this one, but at least it seemed to be sentient. 

"Where do you came from all of the sudden," Luke inquired. 

"Live here, I do," it answered in a deep grumpy voice. 

"Who are you? What are you?" 

"For a guest, many questions you have," the creature reprimanded him, leaning on some 
kind of walking stick. 

"Oh, well I'm sorry," Luke apologized sheepishly and actually blushed a little. 

That little green thing has a funny way of building sentences, perhaps it isn't very 
intelligent. 

He struggled not to laugh at it. 

"What here are you for," the green one began a questioning on it's own. 

For a moment, he did not answer it. "I was told to find a Jedi Master here," Luke 
finally replied, reluctantly. 

" A Jedi Master you are looking for? Why?" 

"Because I want to be trained as a Jedi," came the prompt answer. 

"To become a Jedi, you wish? Hmm. Why?" 

Luke was beginning to get annoyed with... whatever it was, always repeating his answers 
in that odd way of it and adding a "Why" at the end. Like a small bored child. 

"I don't think I have to explain that to you. Now, do you know if there is a 
Jedi Master on this planet," Luke demanded impatiently. 

"Looking for Yoda you are, hmm? Know where he lives I do." it was pointing it's ears up 
getting smart. 

" Why didn't you told me before? Do you know him," he replied, his eyes growing eager. 

" Yes, yes, know him well I do." 

" Can you lead me there," Luke pleaded. 

" Lead you there I can, yes," it said while stubbing at Luke's chest with the stick. 
For a short time nothing happened. 

" Now, what are you waiting for," Luke asked, his impatience growing into annoyance. 

" Answered my question you did not," it stated stubbornly. 

Luke bent down on it's eye level to get his point to it. 

" Look, I told you that it is not your concern." 

" Concern to Master Yoda it is," the odd creature pointed out. 

" I'll tell him when HE wants to know," Luke tried to get the winning point. 

"Answer, or lead you I will not!" 

" Oh, my..," Luke breathed out. He had put his hands before his face and was shaking 
his head in defeat. "Okay, okay! You win," Luke sighed, dropping his hands and stood 
up again. 

" I want to become a Jedi because my father was a great Jedi," Luke finally answered 
the question. 

" Mighty Jedi your father was... All your reason that is," the creature eyed Luke 
critically. 

Luke wondered how it could say anything about his father without even knowing who Luke 
was. Neither of them had introduced themselves so far. Nonetheless Luke would have to 
answer, if he wanted to meet Yoda. He surely couldn't find him on his own. Not in a 
place like this. 

"No, the other reason is that the Alliance need a Jedi to help them as he is the only 
one, who has a chance to defeat Vader," Luke replied. 

"Many Jedi Vader killed, slaughtered even. Why better than them you think yourself," 
it's ears dropped to an almost horizontal position by asking this. 
"Over confident of your abilities, you are." It sounded disappointed now. 

"Ben, a dead Jedi Master, told me that I must be trained... That it is my destiny to 
defeat the Empire," Luke defended himself. 

The creature turned around and hobbled away, towards the mists that clung to the swampy 
world. 

"Come, you will," it ordered Luke to follow. 

Luke turned to Artoo and quickly gave him order to stay by their small camp and 
continue to recharge. 

Artoo protested, but in the end he obeyed. So Luke hurried after Master Yoda, still 
completely ignorant to the fact he had already been found by him.
