PART 1:
Ivy: Oh, today has been so frustrating!
Ruler: What's wrong, Ivy? Nothing serious, I hope!
Ivy: No. I'm just disappointed. I wanted to plant new flowers, but I am out of space!
Ruler: Hmm... I wonder if there is a way to create a more compact garden? Compact plants... Oh! I wonder if I could breed some new smaller plants species!
Ruler: I'm sure with your s****s you could totally do it!
Ivy: Aww, shucks! Thanks, Ruler! I'm excited! I'm going to get started on plant research right away!
Ruler: Excellent! I hope we can increase the kingdom's output with this!


PART 2:
Old Thomas: Hello, Young Ruler! You seem rather busy, and I have not seen Ivy in ages! Could I be of any assistance?
Ruler: Hello, Old Thomas! Ivy and I have been experimenting with space-efficient plant life! And right now I think she is researching...
*A loud BOOM can be heard in the distance...*
Old Thomas: My goodness! Miss Ivy, are you okay?!
Ivy: I thought I almost had it! Buy my cauldron exploded, and you can the result... Maybe a larger cauldron would help?
Old Thomas: I am certain I have read of similar plant work before... I just need to find the scroll! In the meantime, make sure you have a Storage Cellar! I will explain when I return!
Ruler: Wow! Look at Old Thomas go! He must be as excited about this as we are!
Ivy: It certainly seems so! I wonder what he meant about needing a Storage Cellar... Oh well! In the meantime, let's get back to work! After I take a quick bath.


PART 3:
Old Thomas: I have returned, Young Ruler! And with the scroll as promised!
Ruler: Very good, Old Thomas! What did you find out?
Old Thomas: Ahem. According to "Hefty Harvests ad Happy Horticulture", we must build an Arboretum!
Ivy: Ooo~ What is that? It sounds fancy!
Old Thomas: You see, Miss Ivy, one can combine the properties of two plants into one hybrid plant! It is simply magnificent!
Ivy: Wow! That's like exactly what we needed! Excellent!
Old Thomas: Once we build an Arboretum, you can experiment with hybrid plant life!
Ivy: So we can make all sorts of new plants?
Old Thomas: Precisely! I am excited to record our discoveries!
Ruler: The possibilities seem endless! Let's build this Arboretum! I hope that with the new plants we can make our kingdom even more beautiful!


PART 4:
Ivy: I'm so excited! I want to get working on my super flowers right away!
Ruler: As do I! I think we can really beautify and better the kingdom with these new plants!
Old Thomas: Yes, very good. But before you two start, I need to explain about the Storage Cellar. The Arboretum can ONLY use plants stored within the Storage Cellar.
Ruler: So I need to place Ivy's plants in the Storage Cellar?
Old Thomas: Yes! This way we do not use plants that you had not intended to breed. So place any plants for the Arboretum in the Storage Cellar first!
Ivy: Okay, that makes sense! I'll grab my plants and place them in the Storage Cellar!
