myList="Hey, is it me or uh, cough!, does it smell like smoke?" Who are you? 2 Can you help me? 3 I didn't know sheep could talk. 4 "The name's Eku, what can I do for you?" Can you tell me why the dragon scorched my village? 5 What are YOU doing here? 12 "Sure! What do you need?" A haircut 15 Something to eat 16 Directions toward the castle 17 "This one can. As a matter of fact, I speak three languages fluently: English, sheepish, and Northern Yak. It's true, I learned how to speak when I followed some girl named Mary to school one day, although it was against the rules. I started following the rules, though, when I met the Shepherd. But that's a different story for another time. Care to hear it now?" Sure, let's hear it. 13 I'm not really all that up for it, since I've heard it already twice or three times. Do you have anything new to tell me, Eku? 19 "Didn't you read the scroll from the king?" I did read it, but I still don't understand what's going on. 6 I didn't read it yet. Where is it? 7 "Well, okay, the dragon was in search of someone in particular, and well, that someone was YOU! So, he scorched your town thinking you'd be in it. Meanwhile, the King was looking for you too. And he wanted to make sure you got his message. He really wants you to reach the castle. That's all, see? But a pretty good deal in the end. Just watch out for Big Old Smokey. Other than that, it's a piece a' cake." Why is the dragon after ME? 8 "Just look around here in the ruins. It sounds like there are a few things left that you still need to find." Ok, I'll look some more. exit "The dragon comes after each one of us at some point in our lives. The dragon doesn't want you to have the good life that the King wants for you." Why does the King want ME? 9 "I think that's something you'll discover along your journey to the castle. You want to go there, right?" Yes, I do! 10 I'm not sure. 11 "Great, let's get started!" Ok! exit "It's okay if you're feeling confused about some things. They will be explained along the way. But let's go before the dragon comes back!" Ok exit "Who me? Little ole me? If you really want to know, well, you better get comfy." I do want to know. 13 Maybe some other time. 14 "Well, once upon a time... Oh! Before I get into all that, I better tell you that I don't have the best sense of direction. So I was born at a very early age, a cute little fluffy white lamb. I soon set off to make my way in the world, perhaps as a sheep model or player in a Shakespearean drama. After all, I am a talking sheep. Well, here's where the lack of directional sense comes in to play. And so..." Then what happens? 24 "You don't want to know my story? Fine, I'll give you the short version. Well, once upon a time..." Ok, I'll hear the short version 13 No, I've already heard it. exit "I can tell you who I go to, Bart the Barber, but I better warn you, he'll cut all your hair off. Chances are he'll make a nice sweater out of it too." Ok, thanks. exit Ok, now what about something to eat? 16 Uh-huh, and now how do I get out of here? 17 "Stop looking at me like that! I'm just your buddy, your friend, your tour guide. Mutton, I mean nothing to eat, here! I think Karnivale down the road looks promising, though. They probably have all sorts of candy and other treats." Oh, ok exit Yes, and what about a haircut? 15 So how do I get out of here? 17 "Not only will I give you directions, but I'll come with you. One more thing before we go--let me tell you a little bit of my story." I don't have time for that. 22 Okay, okay, tell me your story. 13 I've already heard your story, please give me directions. 23 "Fine, I'll tell you the short version: Well, once upon a time... Oh! Before I get into all that, I better tell you that I don't have the best sense of direction. So I was born at a very early age, a cute little fluffy white lamb. I soon set off to make my way in the world, perhaps as a sheep model or player in a Shakespearean drama. After all, I am a talking sheep. Well, here's where my lack of directional sense comes in to play. On my way to an audition in Stratford-on-Avon, I lost my way. I broke a leg, got stuck in a thornbush, and cried like a little lamb. Come to think of it, I was a lamb. Well, that's when the Good Shepherd caught me in the crook of his staff and helped me find my way. I took a few geography classes and since then have made it my mission in life to help others get on the right path. So, here I am, Eku, the ewe, at your service! Count on me to stay by your side for the journey you are about to begin." Ok exit "Okay, here's the short version. Just kidding! Maybe now's a good time to head on our journey. We'll get there in two shakes of a lamb's ear! Do you have everything you need?" Yes, I do! 20 I'm not sure. 21 "Okay, then let's go!" Ok! exit "Well, you're going to need some items here. Search around. I know you'll need some money, if you can find any." Ok, I'll search around here. exit "Okay. You won't hurt my feelings if you don't want to listen to me. So, are you ready to go?" Yeah, I think so. 20 I may be missing something. 21 "Ooh. Silly me. I don't want to repeat myself. I just get a little excited about telling my story. Now, let's see. I think you just need to get ready and head onward. Do you have everything you need?" Yeah, I think so. 20 I'm not sure. 21 "On my way to an audition in Stratford-on-Avon, I lost my way.

" Thanks for sharing! 25 So, you're going to help me? 25 I think I'll search around now. exit "So I'll be your guide along the way! Let's get going!" Ok! exit &loaded=1
