text: > Look around
  This stretch of sidewalk runs more or less east-west between the busy street to the south and a tall, water-stained fence to the north.
  Just a few yards further west the fence ends where Mrs. Pepper's driveway thrusts into the roadway. Unfortunately there's no option but to cross that driveway if you want to get home.
  
  > climb the fence
  On any other day, you might consider it. Today you have more important things on your mind.
  
  > examine fence
  The fence is tall, and made of solid vertical boards. Once they were painted white, but by now they're gray and a bit water-stained.
  
  You don't seem to be making much progress. If you feel you could use a little help, enter the command HELP.
  
  Bonus Tip: To move around the map use compass directions: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, NORTHEAST etc. (which can be abbreviated to N, S, E, W, NE etc.), or UP, DOWN, IN or OUT. Try going WEST now.

  > Extra off
  Okay; extra hints are now off.
  
  > go to the south
  There's too much traffic for you to consider crossing the street.
  
  > Go west
  You step gingerly off the sidewalk into the mouth of Mrs. Pepper's driveway. There's no way of avoiding it, but that doesn't make it any less hazardous. More than once the nasty old woman has backed her car out quite rapidly just as you were crossing, as if bent on running you over, so this step across Mrs. Pepper's driveway is the part of your daily walk home that you've most come to dread....
  
  But today you're in luck. Her car isn't moving, and she's not in it.
  
  You're at the outer end of Mrs. Pepper's driveway, which extends to the north alongside her house. Her old gray car is parked beside the house, and before the house is a square of sadly neglected lawn. The sidewalk runs east and west from here, and the street is to the south.
  
  > examine the car
  The car is an Oldsmobile, a boxy model that's at least 20 years old. It's slate-gray, and the rear fender droops at one side, as if perhaps Mrs. Pepper has succeeded in hitting something -- or someone -- with it.
  
  > examine the lawn
  The lawn is patchy and mostly dead, mottled with patches of bare dirt.
  
  > enter the car
  The car is too far away.
  
  > examine the driveway
  (the driveway)
  The driveway runs northward along the right side of Mrs. Pepper's house. Standing in the drive next to the house is Mrs. Pepper's old gray car.
  
  > Go west
  To the north, across a sadly dried-up and decrepit yard, stands Mrs. Pepper's house. You can also go east or west along the sidewalk. The busy street is to the south. A telephone pole plastered with the scraps of old posters stands here.
  
  > examine the posters
  Many are faded, many are torn, and many are both. The ones that remain legible advertise everything from last year's flower show to the merits of the Independent Candidate in some long-forgotten election. Amongst this mass of posters well past their read-by date is an advertising flyer that looks crisp and new.
  
  > examine the advertising flyer
  The flyer is crisp, new, and colorful. In big bright letters it advertises a special sale at Flogg & Grabby's Stufftown, a shopping mall that lies just half a mile down the road. If the flyer is to be believed, the sale ends this very afternoon. "INCREDIBLY LOW PRICES ON GORGEOUS LADIES' WIGS!!!" it promises.
  
  Mrs. Pepper is not your idea of a gorgeous lady (if anything, just the opposite). But she certainly is fond of wigs. Every time you see her, it seems, her wig is a different color and style, each more outlandish and ill-fitting than the last. What they all have in common is that they look as if she bought them in a thrift shop.
  
  > get the flyer
  You pick up the advertising flyer.

  > look at the house
  Mrs. Pepper's house is two stories tall, and narrow. It hasn't been painted in a long time. A small covered porch is attached to the front, and the driveway runs along the right side. A short flight of steps leads up from the yard to the porch.
  
  > Go east
  You're at the outer end of Mrs. Pepper's driveway, which extends to the north alongside her house. Her old gray car is parked beside the house, and before the house is a square of sadly neglected lawn. The sidewalk runs east and west from here, and the street is to the south.
  
  > Go north
  You take a cautious step onto Mrs. Pepper's property. When nothing terrible happens, you take another, your curiosity overcoming your apprehension of the batty old woman.
  
  The driveway continues northward along the side of the house, where an old gray car is parked, and leads south out to sidewalk and beyond it the street. On the east the driveway is bordered by a high fence, and Mrs. Pepper's front yard lies to the west.
  
  > open car
  The car is too far away.
  
  > go north
  Mrs. Pepper's house lies directly to the west; the drive continues to the south, and a gravel path leads around the house to the northwest. Standing directly to the north is a detached garage.
  
  A trash can is standing in the driveway.
  
  A battered old car is parked in the drive, just under an open window.
  
  > Examine can
  The old, dented trash can is made of gray metal, and has a sturdy lid.
  
  > open can
  You remove the lid from the trash can.
  
  > look at the can
  The old, dented trash can is made of gray metal.
  
  > open the car
  There's nothing in the trash can.
  
  You can't; it's locked.
  
  > pick up can
  You pick up the trash can.
  
  > drop the trash
  You set down the trash can.
  
  > enter the trashcan
  Tossing yourself into the wastebin at such a young age? You contemplate the idea for a moment, and reject it with a shudder.
  
  > enter the car
  You rattle the car's door handle, but the door is securely locked.
  
  > Smash window
  Painful experience has taught you that breaking things quite often gets you into trouble.
  
  > examine the window
  The window is standing open, and doesn't appear to have a screen.
  It's six or seven feet up the wall from the paved surface of the driveway.
  
  > jump
  That is not something you can climb.
  
  You jump off the car and land back on the ground.
