The old badger, who had quietly followed the discussion,
suddenly cleared his throat: “You want a good map?”
With that, he spread a worn travelling cloth in front of you
to reveal an example from his collection.
“You really need a map?”
The old badger reached into his pack.
“I have a map.”
After a brief struggle with straps, buckles and entirely too many pockets, he triumphantly produced a ceramic mug.
“Yes my friend, A map of the Mistwood Forest, featuring a mug to drink a good cup of coffee or tea while your studies! The trader nodded.
“Not the sort of map most travellers expect, but considerably more useful you may find. And it is very beautiful in your book shelf when you are back at home.”
