Before giving the fish to the creature:
    try giving the tin foil to the creature;
    stop the action.
    
Before giving the tin foil to the creature:
    if the fish is in the tin foil:
        say "'Do you want this?' you ask.[paragraph break][c]Oh no I couldn't... YES I CAN,' [the creature] shrieks and grabs the foil from your hands. Pieces of fish and drops of saliva fly around as the creature devours your meal. The gruesome show ends in [the creature] silently burping and throwing the now empty foil over its shoulder. 'Wow, that really hit the spot. Yeah, maybe you'd like something in return?'[paragraph break]It puts its hand in the sack and majestically pulls out tiny nail scissors and hands them to you.";
        remove the fish from play;
        hand the nail scissors to the player;
    otherwise:
        say "[c]What do you suppose I would do with an empty sheet of tin foil?' [the creature] asks.";
    stop the action.
