Gandalf has come on a long quest to this floury bathroom 购 to purchase a special 勹 container that this magical 贝 shellfish which lives here sells. Gandalf hands over some magic rings 购 to purchase it and looks inside the 勹 container. Sure enough it is what he wants: a croissant that is shaped like an 厶 elbow that is said to increase the power of any wizard.
