One day Mogey and Smush were cruising on through the open air market when they came across a most curious peddler. His stall was full of tiny cages containing moths, grasshoppers, and all manner of other creepy-crawlies.
"What've you got for us, peddler?" Mogey said.
"A fine selection I have today, chaps," the peddler replied. "I think two clever shoppers such as yourselves will find this particular item most interesting." He gestured to a cage hanging from the stall's top post. "It's a Lithuanian Horn Bug."
"What's it do?" Mogey asked as he examined the creature.
"If you rub its horn on your knees every morning, it'll give you the ability to climb ladders at breakneck pace!"
"That doesn't seem very useful," Smush said. "In fact, the term 'breakneck pace' suggests--"
"We'll take it!" Mogey cried. "With this little guy on my side I'll be eating twice the coconuts in half the time."
