The Tale of the little ones
Once upon a time:There was a little bird, high up in the tree in the forest. She could see very well, and every now and again would notice this other tiny thing with even smaller wings than her. She was quite surprised one day when the little one spoke to her in her language, without speech. She said: 'I have some friends that need to be moved out of the forest. Will you please carry them there? They will easily fit on your back, and will hold on to your feathers, so as not to fall off.' And the little bird replied:

They appoint the eldest dwarf as the leader, and the most verbal pixie, as the spokesman for when encountering every-day creatures, as they are not sure that these creatures will respond kindly when being spoken to without speech, and most are much larger than them. They cannot dare to split up as all will be needed to gather the herb, once found, that is.
Now how to find it:
The ants had never even heard of a myth like that, and they are everywhere. The lizards they could not question, as it chased them, and they hid in a close hole, of which animal, they were too scared to even consider. Birds were everywhere seeing them as a nice snack, so in the hole they stayed, and started discussing the possible position of this elusive herb.
Rose (Dwarf Leader): It can be anywhere
Carnation: Under a rock
Hibiscus: In the shade of a tree
Gardenia: Between the grass
Daffodil: Coiling up a bush
Fifi (Spokesman): Yes, we have to not only find the herb, but it is at the head of the herb, that we will find the flower, and within the sacred pollen.
Tiny: Fifi and I. can always fly up, and check the bushes
Carnation, Hibiscus & Gardenia (together): Yes our esteemed leader, we have all ready, to proceed.
Rose (Dwarf Leader): Daffodil, you Fifi and Tiny, search the tops of the bushes.
Daffodil, Fifi (Spokesman) & Tiny (together): It will take a while, and we're already tired from this heat. We haven't seen the sun for yonks.
Fifi suddenly had a brain-flash: What if the herb is not in the vicinity of the river, but in the river? Rose got very excited and said: But we can't swim, and the river is strong and very big, what can we do? Calming down, he said: We will have to brainstorm how to tackle this river issue? Let's sleep on it!
