Start from the beginning
                                    

Jiminy and his parents were sat with the couple at the table eating the broth that the woman heated up.

"Thank you for your kindness," Jiminy said to the couple.

"I just can't get it out of my head. That family..." Myrna said.

"Terrible way to go," Martin said.

"What? What happened?" The woman asked.

"Plague," Myrna and Martin said as they looked at the couple.

"The next town over. We just passed through," Myrna told them.

"The plague?" The woman questioned.

"Well, a plague, certainly," Myrna said.

"Is it coming here? Are you okay?" The man asked.

"Oh, us? No, we're immune," Martin said.

"We have Elf Tonic," Myrna said.

"Made by elves, from elves," Martin said.

"Four out of five court physicians recommend it," Myrna said.

"Fifth one died before he could try it," Martin said.

"Well, you have it, right? Smart folks like you?" Myrna said as they looked at the couple.

The couple looked at them, "We're never heard of it," The woman said.

"Oh no!" Myrna said sadly.

"Oh, dear God!" Martin said sadly.

"Oh no, you're going to die. You need Elf Tonic," Jiminy said.

"Oh, I wish we had extra!" Myrna said sadly.

"We don't have extra!" Martin said sadly.

"There is no extra," Jiminy said.

"We could pay you," The woman said desperately.

"We have a tiny bottle," Martin said.

"But we need that for ourselves," Myrna said.

"What can we give you?" The man said desperately.

"Surely, there must be something here you would want," The woman said.

Martin and Myrna looked at each other before looking at the couple, "I'm sure we could come up with something," Myrna said.
