Story
''Somewhere far away, in mountains famous for their fresh air and clean waters, where Cookies seldom journey, was a place where a mountain ginseng grew. This Cookie, surrounded by a strong smell of dirt and ginseng after sitting still for long periods of time without moving a single root. Ginseng Cookie now travels the world healing other Cookies, and is so skilled that Cookies travel from far and wide for a chance to receive his aid! While he shows nothing but a subtle smile in front of his patients, this Cookie's eyes grow wide and sparkly whenever he sees a healthily round and growing young ginseng. The plant on top of the Cookie's head is rumored to be a [sic] herb with potent restorative effects, something that many Cookies want to get their hands on.''

Skill
