The Kokiri was most satisfied with this bit of haul. These were all useful things, that he promptly stashed away in his bag as soon as he collected them. Though he did keep out one of the treasures; that succulent and juicy beetle was much too tantalizing to leave alone. After all, Boom had not eaten in awhile. And fighting against part of the horrid Guardian, along with extensive travel, took a toll on the creature's stomach. Boom's maw was slavering, as he hungrily stared at the beetle.

"Wriggles and writhes." Boom sang out with a cheerful childlike glee. His ravenous looking eyes stared at the beetle as it tried to wriggle from his grasp. With a malevolent grin, Boom plucked his right thumb and index finger on one of the beetles legs. With a quick flick, he snapped it off, watching as the beetle desperately tried squirming away even faster.

But of course it was to no avail, as Boom chuckled at its suffering. "Twists and turns." He plucked at another of the beetle's legs as he sang his merry tune.

However, Boom craved flesh, and would prefer to save the other rations to devour later. He hoped the bug would be safe to eat, because it did look so delicious. And so the end result of Boom's antics was that the beetle had only one leg, that it flailed about in a pathetic manner.

It was then Boom focused his attention to the three directions in the cave he could go. He found himself drawn towards the left path, where the sound of water was coming from. Water was good, as it gave drink. But of course, water could mean fish. Succulent and slimy fish. The things would flop about, desperately trying to escape, only to eventually be devoured and torn apart by Boom's fangs.

The kokiri now felt the urge to eat fish, alongside or instead of the beetle. And if the beetle wasn't safe, Boom could always use it for bait for fish. Or drown it in the water. Or smash it somewhere.
