- Fred the Farmer: Oh? Well, I could do with a bit of help, since you're offering.
- Fred the Farmer: I need to collect some black wool from my sheep and I'd be much obliged if you could shear them for me. While you're at it, spin the wool into balls for me too.
- Player: Does it have to be black wool?
- Fred the Farmer: Has to be. I'm doing business with some guy after black clothing - something to do with black looking 'cool'.
- Select an Option
- It takes all sorts, I suppose.
- Player: It takes all sorts, I suppose.
