PAGE SEVEN
Panel One: Sama and the Old man continue to talk. Sama is still hiding Eddie, and the Old Man is now trying to look behind Sama, leaning forward, trying to sneak a leering glance at the bear. Even as he's talking to Sama, he's not looking at him -- his concentration is elsewhere.
1/OLD MAN: I know, you think I'm crazy and old. But I'm not too old to play with teddy bears. In fact, I love them. I love them very much. Don't know what I'd do without them. <cough>
2/OLD MAN: Yes, I was in a situation much like yours a long, long time ago.
Panel Two: Sama, starting to gain a little interest in this kook, wrinkles up his brow and hesitantly asks him a question. The man leans back, makes a circle with the fingers of both hands and holds it up to his eye, looking at Sama through this gesture with one eye.
3/SAMA: What did you do?
3/OLD MAN: I found the Sugar Stone. It can cure anybody, make them good as new.
Panel Three: Sama gives it to this guy straight. The man turns and waves Sama and his insult aside.
4/SAMA: That sounds dumb.
5/OLD MAN: Then I won't tell you where I found it.
Panel Four: The both turn away from each other, but we can see Sama trying to peak and see if this guy might still be interested in telling his secret.
A little dialog polish in the first panel, but otherwise, this is a pretty straight-forward page.
