Cleaner/Simpler/Better way to get a certain foldable item?

I wrote this function to get any requested foldable item, specifically so I can be sure to have a diaper and moondial available for my rollover script. Any thoughts if I could have done it a better way? (didn't PHP tag this, apostrophes in items names gave it fits)

EDIT: Rediculously improved by lostcal's suggestion
Code:
boolean get_foldable(item wanted){
	// Maybe we already have the item we want? Get it and stop searching!
	if( available_amount(wanted) > 0){
		retrieve_item(1, wanted);
		vprint("Happy day! You already have a " + wanted,"blue",2);
		return true;
	}
	// Maybe we have another item we can squeeze into what we want?
	foreach it in get_related(wanted, "fold"){
		if( available_amount(it) > 0 ){
			// Found it! Retrieve the item, squeeze what we wanted and stop looking for others
			retrieve_item(1, it);
			cli_execute("squeeze " + wanted);
			vprint("Successfully squeezed a " + wanted,"blue",2);
			return true;
		}
	}
	vprint("Sorry, couldn't find anything to squeeze into a " + wanted,"red",2);
	return false;
}
