Requirements

Offer: How can I help you? As you can see, our family isn't doing too well here, so I am really sorry, but I can't serve anyone right now, even a stranger from out of town like you. Someone told me to give you this seed.
Well, I did find this swallow that broke a leg back in spring, and fixed its leg, but... you're telling me that Swallow told you to give this seed to me? That's interesting. Say, if you aren't really busy and all, can you please do me a favor and plant the seed on the roof of our house? I am sorry, but I haven't had anything to eat for the past few days, and I am too tired to go up there. If the seed turns into a gourd later on, then can you do me another favor and open it and give me what's inside? Thank you.
In progress: Is it still a long time before the gourd opens? Was there anything inside?
Completion: Did you open the gourd? Is it full inside? If so, then I better make a huge bowl of porridge out of it for my family. They missed a meal today, you know...
What?? All this?? Wow... it's a relief; now I can definitely feed my family until they are too full to eat. Thank you so very much. As a sign of thank you, I want you to take one of these jewelries. Please choose one.
