'I do not see very many people dancing. My mother said that there would be dance contests held regularly during the festival, but so few people are participating! Is the spooky atmosphere to blame? Why is everyone afraid to dance?
'We must combat this fear of dancing with encouraging words! Find bashful festival-goers and tell them there is nothing to fear. That will surely work!'1/1

'It didn't work, Player. People are still too bashful to get up and dance! What a disaster!
'Wait a moment. I have had an idea! Perhaps they just need to see someone else having a good time, dancing and cheering and who knows what else? It's up to you, Player! Take a moment to do whatever you want, any creative expression at all, and maybe that will help these bashful hobbits come to their senses!
'If they see you doing it and having a good time, perhaps they will be able to do it themselves!'1/1

'That was quite a performance, Player.
'I hope these bashful hobbits have learned how fun it can be just to be yourself, and not worry about what anyone else is thinking! Thank you for being such a good sport! Will I see you at cousin Bingo's spooky stories tonight?'1/1
