A Healer and a Hag fell in love and got married. After a lovely ceremony, they climbed into a boat to set sail on their honeymoon. The Healer took along his prized possession, a rare type of Mimbus Mimbletonia.

It wasn't long before the boat began to take on water. They considered carefully what to do before the Healer spoke up. "It is clear to me, my darlingest dear, that one of us will have to jump out of the boat. Better that one of us survive than neither of us."

She nodded, despite being very hard of hearing as many hags are. The healer continued. "It is also clear to me, my one true love, that we cannot throw the Mimbus Mimbletonia overboard, as it is nearly extinct." He pointed at the small plant.

The hag nodded and smiled. "What?"

"Extinct, my love. Extinct."

She smiled and nodded once again before picking up his precious plant and throwing it into the rising waves. "But... but... my love? Why?"

The hag settled back into her seat as she muttered to herself, seemingly oblivious to her husband's unhappiness. "Didn't smell all that bad to me."
