"This is Piñata Island. It's the most incredible place in the world, where living piñata roam wild. In the middle of the island is Piñata Central. It's the place where piñata packed with candy go so they can be sent to parties all over the world.
Around Piñata Central are lots of gardens and the people who live on Piñata Island learned how to care for the land so the wild piñata will stay in their gardens and fill up with candy. Candy-filled piñata can then be sent up to Piñata Central, so each party receives the piñata that suits it best.
Piñata love parties. When they break open it's like having 5 birthdays all at once! After the part the piñata return to Piñata Island to fill up with candy and go to the next party!
This is an amazing island and my garden was the most amazing place on this island. I was famous here, but some PEST, er. . . took a dislike to me. To make a long story short all my hard work was ruined! I often wish that I were still young and strong enough to put the garden back in order, but those days are gone. Now the garden is yours and you're facing a challenge that even I might not be able to beat."
"My name is Jardiniero (you've probably heard of me and if you haven't then you should have). I am the best gardener on Piñata Island, even after all this time there's no-one as good as I was. The land that you are messing about with used to be my garden.
I could make any plant grow and have any piñata stay in the garden... well apart from one piñata. Let's face it, if I couldn't get one, no-one else could. Now forget about all that, you've got a long way to go before you can even call this a garden.
Not long after I started the garden I met my wonderful wife. She worked on the ships which traded piñata for other goods. This was in the days when piñata only left the island by boat, Piñata Central hadn't been built then.
We got married the day that the first parts arrived to build Piñata Central. Mother (my wife) stayed on the island for a whole year and our first child was born. We called him Stardos. When stardos was 2 years old ny wife had to go back to sea. Piñata Central had installed the first Cannonata and there were requests for more piñata than ever before. My garden was already impressive and I could supply Piñata Central with really good piñata. With Mother gone I set about teaching little Stardos about piñata and making the best garden in Piñata Island history!"
"Little stardos grew quickly, just like my garden. I hired a helper called Lester to do some of the less skilful jobs in the garden. He was O.K. but he was always writing things down, drawing pictures and making 'plans'. I'd ask him to do something and he'd mess it up. I'd tell him how to do it properly and he'd write it all down. If he listened more and wrote less he might have been more useful. I also found him trying to take shortcuts, he'd miss out some important work just so he could pack an extra couple of piñata into a crate to Piñata Central.
Stardos was learning more and more everyday which was a good job because I found Lester messing around with sweets. One afternoon I was walking down past the Gooseberry bushes when I found Lester stirring red and black liquid which smelled SOUR. The secret of happy piñata is good candy. Its one shortcut you can't afford to take, start messing with the candy and who knows what effect it can have on a piñata!
I sacked Lester on the spot and little Stardos took over his job. Replaced by a little boy! Lester was quite angry about it, but I knew that Piñata Central only wanted the best piñata."

"It was a good job Stardos was such a natural gardener (like his dad) because our little family soon had a new member. Our second child, Leafos was born during Mother's shore leave. Mother had to go back to sea very soon after Leafos was born. I brought up Leafos, continued Stardos' training and maintained my fantastic garden.
Leafos loved the garden so much she used to take flowers into her room at night. And it didn't stop there, she tried to take a Moozipan to bed one night and I had to draw the line.
The next day I gave her some paper and pencils and she started drawing all the things she saw in the garden, so she could put them up in her room. As she got older she wrote about the plants and piñata as well as drawing pictures. In next to no time her walls were covered with sketches and writing so we made a book to keep it all in. That was the start of my Journal where a record of everything in the garden was kept."

"In the old days I was an expert romance dancer. Mother was caught by surprise and my second daughter was born at sea. Mother named her after the migrating Storks that followed the ship.
Little Storkos spent all her early years on the ships with Mother. She was taught to read books by sailors and the comic books they collected. She grew up running around the decks pretending to have super powers. In the old days the Piñata had to fetch their own eggs from egg mountain. Lots of eggs were broken before the parents could roll them home. Piñata Central needed more piñatas to fill all the party requests and all the gardens (even mine) couldn't romance the piñatas fast enough. When Mother's ship docked, Storkos came to the garden. She played in the garden with Leafos and Stardos until one day, Storkos went missing. We called for her but she didn't show up until two bunnycombs had done their romance dance. Swooping down from Egg Mountain with her cloak flapping behind her, Storkos flew into the garden and gently dropped off the Bunnycomb egg safe and sound into the garden.
Overnight the piñata romance dance problem was solved. Every piñata knew that its' eggs would be delivered safely. Storkos had become Piñata Island's very own superhero."

"Piñata Central had a regular supply of common piñata types but my garden was the only place to get the really unusual piñata. I worked in the garden with my famy, Mother visited as often as she could. Everything was close to perfect and then my youngest son Sidos arrived, like the cherry on the cake.
Mother gave up sailing and we lived as a family in and around the garden for a short time. Sidos started to look after a Shellybean, then two and soon he had romanced them. He was very advanced for such a little boy (like a chip off the old block). Sidos and his family of Shellybeans continued to spend lots of time together.
When Piñata Central requested some Shellybean piñatas, Sidos happily sent the whole family. Sidos had taught the Shellybeans all sorts of tricks. Including the 'Tower of Shellybeans' and 'Shellybean burst'. Those little Shellybeans must have put on quite a show because when they came home there was suddenly a big demand for Shellybean piñatas. Obviously Sidos followed in his Dad's footsteps, becoming a piñata expert before he could talk properly."
Chapter 7 (lvl 19 Unlock)
"You probably heard I was the most successful gardener on Piñata Island, and that's not a boast it's a fact. Suddenly a rumor started that there was one piñata I hadn't managed to capture I laughed when people asked me about it but it was starting to bug me. Surely if someone could lure a Dragonache into their garden it was me.
I was lucky though my old helper Lester showed up one day with an old map he said he'd found. The map showed a route over the sea to a little island where a wise man was supposed to live. Lester said that this man was the last known person to ever see a Dragonache and that he held the secrets to attracting one to a garden.
I immediately started planning a trip. Mother would captain the ship to take us to the old man's island. Stardos was able to look after the garden with the help of Leafos. Storkos would keep an eye out for little Sidos until we returned. I was determined to prove once and for all that I was the greatest gardener that Piñata Island had ever seen!"
