I recall a fairytale involving helping some sort of gnome and cutting down trees.  Inside one of the trees (a huge, gnarled mass of knots and very hard wood) was a treasure of some sort.  I also want the encounter to involve some sort of opposition... a delema, such as a spirit inhabiting the tree which doesn't want them to cut it down.  Perhaps another "woodcutter" is also around who wants to cut down the tree... except that the woodcutter is not who he seems to be and is in fact the stereotypical "greedy man (greedy relaton?)" who overheard the gnome's instructions for finding treasure?  Something like that.</blockquote>
