The block giving rule is not listed in the check giving it to rules.

[As it happens, correct behavior is built into the GIVE command once "block giving" is turned off, so we do not have to write a replacement report or carry-out rule; the object will be transferred to the possession of the caterpillar. But we do want to adjust the action just a little so that our gift cheers up the recipient:]

Carry out giving (this is the gratitude for gifts rule): improve the mood of the second noun.

Mood is a kind of value. The moods are hostile, suspicious, indifferent, friendly, and adoring. An animal has a mood. An animal is usually indifferent.

To improve the mood of (character - an animal): 
    if the mood of character is less than friendly, now the mood of the character is the mood after the mood of the character.

[Now whenever we give something to an animal, the animal will be pleased about the present. Of course, we might also want to add a check rule to giving, to see whether the offering is something the recipient really wants:]

[Check giving (this is the polite refusal of unwanted objects rule): 
	unless [the noun] interests [the second noun];
	say "[The second noun] disdainfully refuses [the noun]." instead.]

To decide whether (item - a thing) interests (character - a person): 
    if the character has the item, no; 
    if the item is edible, yes; 
    no.

Instead of showing something to someone: 
try giving the noun to the second noun.

[There is already a perfectly workable report rule that will describe what happens when we give something to someone, but let's say we want to report on the recipient's changed mood, too:]

After giving something to someone: 
    say "You give [the noun] to [the second noun], who appears mollified and is now merely [mood of the second noun]."

[And the rest is all scenario:]

The Very Hungry Dinosaur is a hostile animal in the Beach. "[The Dinosaur] looks [mood]." Instead of examining the Dinosaur, say "[The Dinosaur] appears [mood]."

Instead of going north in the presence of a hostile Dinosaur: 
    say "[The Dinosaur] moves to block your exit, glaring down at you with all the bristles on its skin extended to full size."

Instead of going north in the presence of a suspicious Dinosaur: 
    say "[The Dinosaur] moves to block your exit, though it might allow you past if you offered further tribute."
