I need some help parsing this...

One buying nibbles with a tiny crustacean SANDHOPPER (I think!) If 'One buying' = SHOPPER then why does 'Nibbles' = AND or am I completely wrong?

You're right with Sandhopper Brendan

One buying = shopper
nibbles (is the container, to nibble is to eat or take in)
with = and
S(and)hopper

NB: It's a part &lit

No Les, I put DACHA because I didn't think it could be anything else but other than the D(aughter) I'm at a loss.
