But I- Rincewind began
'But I-' Rincewind began, and gave up. Anyway, he reasoned, I know what an onion looks like, it's a sort of saggy white thing with a green bit sticking out of the top, should be fairly conspicuous.
'I'll just go and have a look, shall I?' he said.
'Yesh.'
'Over there in all that thick, shadowy undergrowth?'
'Very good playshe, yesh.'
'Where all the deep gullies and things are, you mean?'
'Ideal shpot, I'd shay.'
'Yes, I thought so,' said Rincewind bitterly. He set off, wondering how you attracted onions. After all, he thought, although you see them hanging in ropes on market stalls they probably don't grow like that, perhaps peasants or whatever use onions hounds or something, or ing songs to attract onions.
There were a few early stars out as he started to poke aimlessly among the leaves and grass. Luminous fungi, unpleasantly organic and looking like marital aids for gnomes, squished under his feet. Small flying things bit him. Other things, fortunately invisible, hopped or slithered away under the bushes and croaked reproachfully at him.1 commentTweetThe

'Onions?' whispered Rincewind. 'Any onions here?'
'There's a patch of them by that old yew tree,' said a voice beside him.
'Ah,' said Rincewind. 'Good.'
There was a long silence, except for the buzzing of the mosquitoes around Rincewind's ears.
He was standing perfectly still. He hadn't even moved his eyes.
Eventually he said, 'Excuse me.'
'Yes?'
'Which one's the yew?'
'Small gnarly one with the little dark green needles.'
'Oh, yes. I see it. Thanks again.'

'You're not a tree, are you?' said Rincewind, still staring straight ahead.
'Don't be silly. Trees can't talk.'
'Sorry. It's just that I've been having a bit of difficulty with trees lately, you know how it is.'
'Not really. I'm a rock.'
Rincewind's voice hardly changed.
'Fine, fine,' he said slowly. 'Well, I'll just be getting those onions, then.'
'Enjoy them.'
He walked forward in a careful and dignified fashion, spotted a clump of stringy white things huddling in the undergrowth, uprooted them carefully, and turned around.

He looked hard at the yew tree, just in case it had been speaking. But the yew, being a fairly solitary tree, hadn't heard about Rincewind the arborial saviour, and in any case was asleep.
'If that was you, Twoflower, I knew it was you all along,' said Rincewind. His voice sounded suddenly clear and very alone in the gathering dusk.
Rincewind remembered the only fact he knew for sure about trolls, which was that they turned to stone when exposed to sunlight, so that anyone who employed trolls to work during daylight had to spend a fortune in barrier cream.
But now that he came to think about it, it didn't say anywhere what happened to them after the sun had gone down again . . .
The last of the daylight trickled out of the landscape. And there suddenly seemed to be a great many rocks about.
