Description

Sometimes the troops want something sweet to eat. I don't always give them what they want but this time, I am going to make an exception. I am sure you have seen the local cactus that grows here in Orgrimmar. These cactus produce a tasty treat called prickly pear fruit. The trouble is the fruit are covered in spines! Watch your hands and bring me back a handful of that fruit.

Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Next time beware
Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
When you pick a pear
Try to use the claw
But you don't need to use the claw
When you pick a pear of the big pawpaw
Have I given you a clue ?
-Baloo, The Jungle Book

I immediately thought of this when I saw this quest.
