Book of unwritten tales...cutting masterbrewer's beard

Just fed the robot,and got stuck after visiting the gnome home/rooms.According to the WT, I need to cut the masterbrewer's beard with the scissors....but the dialogue keeps telling me "no".
Appears as if I'm stuck. I checked the WT and apparently I've done everything up to this point that needed to be done.
Suggestions,anyone? Thanks!

this happened to me to but i think i had to get wilbur to make a commment on the map first then it worked. dianne

I actually had to go examine more items in the gnome home...and then presto...I was able to cut his beard. This game is quickly turning into one of my favorite AGs. LOVING it so far.

Glad you found what was holding you back, Rob.
