Jell-o to Tar-Palantir to a duck to Orthanc to something green and sticky.
Jell-o is transparent, just like good-quality crystal. A crystal ball can be used to see far places and future events. Palantirs were used to see such places and events. Palantir meant "he who looks afar", and it is what Tar-Palantir named himself after. There were probably gulls in one of the Bays of Numenor (such as the Bay of Eldanna), and gulls were birds just like ducks. An eagle is also a bird and an eagle rescued Gandalf from the Tower of Orthanc. Saruman dwelt in Orthanc and GrĂ­ma Wormtongue was a spy of his. Wormtongue was said to be slimy like a worm, which lives in the earth. A worm is an insect, like a slug. A slug leaves a slime trail which is green and sticky.

EDIT: Almost forgot to give you one...okay:

A daffodil to Idril to a bell to Eol to a cloud

And I thought of connections as I went along for this one, so it is nowhere impossible.
