DOLPHIN: When you meet the dolphin, you go OUT, FILL JAR, FILL FLASK, IN. This 
gives you the required breath. Note that it is necessary to use either bottle or 
jar to water the plant, and subsequently must be filled with breath again.

DRAGON: When you come across him, go U, U, E, N, GET FEATHER (which is tickling 
the beast), S, W, D, D. As thanks you get a whistle which you can use to summon 
the dragon. This is not necessary, however.

SHELTERED BEACH: It is not important and leads to the dwarves, like Hot Rock; it 
doesn't matter which route you choose. To open the door hit it with the hammer.

Ingredients for the ribbon
--------------------------
Roots of a Mountain   - plant Fruit on Sandy Shore and water it.
Sinews of a Bear      - just empty the Stewpot.
Breath of a Fish      - from the dophin. Both Flask and Jar must be filled.
A Birds Spittle       - bring the spittoon to the eagle above Gravel Beach.
A Woman's Beard       - shave the sleeping dwarf with Clippers at Hot Rock.
Sound of a Cat moving - tie the bell to the cat at Al Kwasarmi.
