  A grassy field, by an apple tree
  This is a field of lush green grass. In the center of the field, an apple tree grows. Its branches are hung with ripe red apples. Scattered flowers wink at you from the grass, as the sun shines brightly overhead. A babbling brook softly runs westwards. A small foot-bridge allows you to cross from one bank to the other.
  You see a large wicker bird cage here. The large wicker bird cage seems to contain the robin and some scraps of paper.
  
  > go east
  You walk for a minute or two, only to feel the ground beginning to slip away. You take a hasty step backwards.
  
  > examine bottle
  The bottle is made of glass, but seems fairly sturdy. It has a snap-top allowing it to be firmly closed and sealed, as it is now. The glass bottle is closed.
  
  > Examine scraps
  Poor crane :(
  The robin glances stealthily around to look for female robins. Must be mating season.
  
  > go to the north
  You walk for a minute or two, only to feel the ground beginning to slip away. You take a hasty step backwards.
  The robin sings selected pieces by Mozart.
  
  > go south
  You walk forwards, and again feel the sensation of the ground vanishing. A blast of sweltering heat welcomes you to the desert one more time.
  
  you gasp for water. The sun beats down all around with no hope of shade or any other respite, and there are no land-marks in sight in any direction.
  You see a sun-bleached skull here.
  
  You think you hear a voice behind you. "Okay, Mom, I'm coming," you reply. But when you turn, there is no one there.
  
  You stagger on ahead, baking in the sun. Finally, you must stop to breathe. Taking a look behind yourself, it is hard to tell that you have moved at all. Already, the hot desert breeze is erasing the signs of your passage.
  
  > take the skull
  Your load is too heavy.
  
  > examine the skull
  The skull has been made fragile and white by exposure to the sun and sand. Two horns sprout from the forehead, and the teeth are long and pointed. It is from no creature you have ever seen before.
  
  Abruptly, the desert air seems to swirl around you. You blink your eyes, and when they open again, you're back where you came here from:

  > drop the kite
  Dropped.
  
  > look at what you're carrying with you
  You have a music box, a glass bottle, and a small fly. The glass bottle seems to contain a small black magnet, a piece of paper, and a heavy stone.
  
  > take the stone
  You'll have to open the glass bottle first.
  
  > go south
  You walk for a minute or two, only to feel the ground beginning to slip away. You take a hasty step backwards.
  
  > open the bottle
  You pop open the bottle.
  
  > get the stone
  Taken.

  A single cloud appears in the sky. For an instant, it shifts shape, becoming a bird rising from cold ashes.

  > check what you're carrying
  You have a music box, a glass bottle, a small fly, and a sun-bleached skull. The glass bottle seems to contain a small black magnet and a piece of paper.
  
  > look in the skull
  There's nothing in the sun-bleached skull.
  The robin sings happily.
  
  > look at the horns
  The skull has been made fragile and white by exposure to the sun and sand. Two horns sprout from the forehead, and the teeth are long and pointed. It is from no creature you have ever seen before.
  The robin sings selected pieces by Mozart.
  
  > ask the tree about the skull
  "Sorry, I don't know anything about that. Us trees don't get out much, y'know."
  
  > ask tree about the apple
  "You can have one or two, I suppose."
  The robin glances stealthily around to look for female robins. Must be mating season.
  
  > get the apple
  You reach up for an apple, and the branches bend to drop one into your hand.
  
  > break the skull
  The sun-bleached skull shatters into a million pieces!
  The robin sings happily.
