myList="Watch out! Hey! Don't I know you? You look TERRIBLY familiar to me! That's it! You used to live in Soulous, didn't you? Its me, Morrid! My old house was destroyed. It no longer has a roof or door, come to think of it neither does this rock! Quick! Duck underneath here! The dragon could come at any moment!" Do you really think it is necessary to hide all of the time from the dragon? 2 Were you in Soulous when the dragon came to destroy it? 3 Alright, I'm right behind you. 4 "Why, yes! It is essential if you value your life." Whatever you say, but don't you get all dirty? And aren't there worms and bugs under there? 5 Aren't you bored just hiding under there all the time? 6 Does this guy have a problem or what? "No, but I saw what he did to the village, and so I fled here right away! Many others followed." Where are the others? 10 Have you ever gone to find The King? 11 "Wise choice. But you'll have to get your own rock and hole. Two people in one space would be way too noisy. The dragon would come after us for sure! " What makes you so sure the dragon is hunting you? 14 Where is the dragon now? 17 Why hide? We're going to see the King! Don't turn back now. "The dirt, bugs and worms are nothing compared to the fire and fangs of the dragon! Shh! Get under here! You've got to hide, or he'll see you!" Ok, I'll hide. 4 Why should I hide? Where is the dragon now? 17 "Oh, cowering and shaking out of shear terror takes up quite a bit of time, you'd be surprised." Well, have you ever even seen the dragon? 7 But what a way to live your life, why? 23 "Oh, I've seen him alright. That ugly terrible reptile... with his foot long teeth and never-ending fire breath. He's got those huge beady red eyes, and claws that could take off the skin of a blue whale with one swipe." So you saw him when he destroyed Soulous? 8 He does sound horrible. I hope I don't encounter him much on the rest of my journey! 9 "No, I only saw what he did to our town. But I see him every night in my nightmares. " ok exit "Nooooo! You mustn't go! It's too dangerous out there!" Ok, I'll hide here with you. 18 Have you ever gone to find the king? 11 I'd rather head out on my journey. Later. exit "They all fled. I'm sure most are in hiding like me. You'd be smart to hide." Ok, that sounds like a good idea. 18 Living my life in fear under a rock doesn't sound like a good life to me. I'd rather risk everything to find the king. 12 Good idea! Keep your chin up! Not down under a rock! "Are you kidding me? That's way too dangerous. I barely made it here without losing my very life! How could I ever risk it and go toward a king that I don't even know exists?" The king has to be real! Living life in fear under a rock hardly sounds like a good life to me. I'd rather risk everything to find the king than be stuck here. 12 I guess I don't know for sure that he exists. I think I'll talk to some others around here and see what they say about it. 13 "All fine and good for you, but I'm too scared to even start to believe what you're saying is true. I need to go back down now. I don't want to draw any more attention to myself. Goodbye." Goodbye. exit Good idea! Keep your chin up! Not down under a rock! "I'm sure they'll all say the same thing. It's best just to stay here in the forest and keep yourself hidden. Shh! I think I heard something." I don't hear anything? 19 Uh-oh, I'd better hide too. 18 "You remember what happened to our town, don't you? One day Soulous is this great and happy place to live, the next day it's a dragon's bonfire. I never want to live through that again. Rocks are fire-proof, you know. And there's one thing nice about being in this dark forest—the darkness. Even with his night-vision, he can't see me way under here." Now that I think about it, it seems like the dragon will have us beat if we just hide under a rock for the rest of our lives. Don't you agree? 15 You really have it all thought out. But I guess I want to remember why I' m here in the first place. I need to stay on my mission. 16 Ok, I'll hide. 18 Snap out of it! You don't want to hide out with Morrid! That would be downright horrid! "We're still alive aren't we? Who really needs three square meals, a warm place to sleep, and family and friends? Oh, I miss those days. . . but anyway! I'd rather live down here in terror than out there, feeling comfortable, but all the while one second away from the scorching breath of the dragon." Ok, you can do that. exit Ok, I'll hide. 18 "What a shame. AAAH! Did you see something move over there in the shadows?" No, I didn't see anything. 19 Hmmm...maybe. It's a dark forest here. 24 "Who knows? He could be anywhere! Don't tell this to anyone, but I think he has invisibility powers. He could be right next to us, listening to this very conversation. YIKES!!" Hmmm. I don't know. 20 I don't think so. 20 If he were invisible, why wouldn't he kill you already? 21 This guy has definitely been under a rock too long. "You better find another rock. I really don't have enough space under here for you." Ok, I'll find one for myself. exit "Shh! If you were quiet enough, you'd hear something. I think it's the dragon! Go hide under a rock now!" Ok, I'll hide with you. 18 No, I'd rather continue on my journey. Later. exit "Do what you want...but you'll be dragon toast if you don't hide!" Ok. Later. exit Being in constant fear is no way to live. "He's a smart dragon. He's planning and plotting...he'll get you! I know he will!" I hope not. 22 Bye. exit He's not only smart, he's mean too. Very mean and cruel. But we don't need to give into the dragon by hiding. "You better not just hope...you have to hide! Or else!" I really want to go find the king. Have you ever gone to the King? 11 Do you really think it's necessary to hide all the time? 2 Ok, I'll hide. 18 Living life in fear and under a rock...that's not much of a life if you ask me. "Or else the dragon will get you! Did you not see what he did to Soulous? He'll do that to you when he finds you!" So you saw him when he destroyed Soulous? 3 He does sound horrible; I hope I don't encounter him on the rest of my journey! 9 "Better hide now! I'm sure it's the dragon! He's coming!" Ok, I'll hide with you. 18 I don't think so. 20 &loaded=1
