Thanks for the help. I went ahead and dropped them repeatedly on the hut and they became trained and went to the statue. I have now completed all but there puzzles. just need to find some extra pieces and shells and one coral. How about the chief? He has never pointed to any rare items for my villagers. What do I need to do? by the way this game was great!!! I have now played all three and can't wait to start the next new game.
