You tell the old man that you have urgent business with the Wizard and ask, in your most respectful voice, if he knows where you can find the Wizard.
"Never mind," he says. He tears off his overalls as if they were a paper apron and is immediately a good two feet taller than he was and wearing an ermine lined blue velvet robe and a pointy hat. His personal hygiene has also miraculously improved. "As you can see, I am the Wizard of the Island! What do you desire of me?" he intones.
You explain the bear's request. In response the Wizard simply scoffs.
"Me? Help a bear? A common animal? I have better things to do with my time. Be gone, before I tire of you!"
Are you a diplomat and offer the Wizard the bear's gift in hopes of softening him up?
or
Are you a warrior and threaten to give him the beating of his life if he doesn't help your friend the bear?
or
Are you an honest soul who asks if there is any task that you might complete in order to sway him?
