Make it funny, or clever, or even a "groaner"!

[Amaranth]

A Hag and a Healer are discussing a beautiful young witch who nevertheless believes herself to be ugly. The Healer says he has tried everything - cheering potions, beauty draughts, charms, the lot, and nothing works. The Hag rolls her eyes.

"Clearly the answer is obvious. Whenever she feels ugly, tell her to poke this with her wand. She'll instantly become the most attractive person in the room" she says, handing over a plant. The Healer, hopeful of a new healing discovery, follows her advice and gives the plant to the young witch when he next sees her. At first, she's unsure, but eventually agrees to give it a go. She walks into the crowded waiting room where she starts to feel insecure again.

The healer suddenly hears all these shrieks from the waiting room and rushes out to see what's happened. All his patients, save for the pretty young witch, are covered in Stinksap. The young witch turns to the healer beaming.

"Wow, I may not be any prettier, but I sure feel better!"
