"I have fed the trout to the hungry gnome and found the gold piece in the flower garder. I gave the gold piece to the soothsayer, and she took it without giving me any information."

She'll give you info when you find more gold, and on your fourth coin shell give you a special item.


"I have the option to give her the jewel -- should I?"

If it's the jewel I'm thinking of, she won't want it, but a certain store owner will. But never hesitate to use an action. It is impossible to make the game unbeatable.


"I know that I need to pick a carrot and feed it to the bunny, who will help me kil the cat,"

The carrot is in the farm, the bunny is near the forest, and to get the bunny to help you after you feed him you must use repitition near the cat.


Hope this helps.
