Stuck with Only a Candle to my Name

I'm in search of an eye. I decided to use my last coin to obtain the candle, which I successfully got and dyed purple. However, every time I enter the cave and use the candle, Acorn throws me out.

Regarding other items I had:
I gave the fruit and mushrooms to the baker (although without a coin to trade, I can't get the pie). Amaya the blacksmith likes my candle, and says it would help her in her quest to chase away the wolves, but it sure doesn't do anything for me.
What am I missing?
Best Answer

Can be passed off for an eye of the Snarling Snarlax!
