Your trick did work. And that's why you deserve one, too.

The... reason I'm chasing after these things, you see. Is because there's a real big guy--like this thing in town, back there.

He says if you bring him three of these seeds, he'll 'give you a good prize' in return.

So we should get you some, too. You also deserve something for the trouble.
