text: > pull Mane
  You'll need to be more specific. Do you want to pull it back? To the
  right or left?
  Unable or unwilling to hold on any more, you slide off Horse, narrowly
  avoiding being kicked on the way down.
  Horse whinnies with delight, and disappears across the countryside. You
  pick yourself up, and make your way back to the Village.
  
  This is the small Village you seem to lead. It consists of several
  small huts, plus a larger one with no walls the People use as a meeting
  area. The People are there now, in fact, arguing over something. The
  ground slopes down to the north, and a path leads along a ridge to the northwest. A small stream collects here, and follows the slope down to
  the north.
  
  The People are debating loudly amongst themselves in the meeting area.
  
  Your own hut is just to the west, slightly larger than the others.
  
  > lean forwards
  You lean forward, towards Horse's neck.
  Sliding off around Horse's neck, you narrowly avoid being trodden upon
  as you fall forward and Horse runs over you.

  > pull Mane forward
  You push forwards on Mane. Horse increases speed slightly, which
  unsettles you enough that you can't push forward any more. You ease
  back, and Horse resumes his regular breakneck pace.
  
  You sense that Horse is beginning to tire. This is good, because it
  means you might be able to free up one of your hands to do something. Unfortunately, you are also tiring, and you can feel your grip with
  your knees weakening.
  
  The ride is unsettling you, and you feel yourself start to slip.
  
  > lean forward
  You lean forward, towards Horse's neck.
  
  You're faltering badly, and are having trouble righting yourself.
  
  > pull Mane forward
  You push forwards on Mane. Horse increases speed slightly, which
  unsettles you enough that you can't push forward any more. You ease
  back, and Horse resumes his regular breakneck pace.
  
  You are beginning to become sore from the constant jarring.

  You push forwards on Mane. Horse increases speed slightly, which
  unsettles you enough that you can't push forward any more. You ease
  back, and Horse resumes his regular breakneck pace.
  
  One of your hands slip, and it is only Horse's slower pace that allows
  you to grab a hold again.

  You're just about to fall off from exhaustion!

  You pull back on Mane. Unfortunately, Horse doesn't seem to slow
  perceptibly.

  You are carrying:
  Headdress (being worn)
  Unable or unwilling to hold on any more, you slide off Horse, narrowly
  avoiding being kicked on the way down.

  Violence isn't the answer to this one.

  You notice one man slip to the edge of the crowd. A few minutes later,
  he seems to be gone.
  
  > check your inventory
  You are carrying:
  Headdress (being worn)
  
  You sense that Horse is beginning to tire. This is good, because it
  means you might be able to free up one of your hands to do something. Unfortunately, you are also tiring, and you can feel your grip with
  your knees weakening.
  
  The ride is unsettling you, and you feel yourself start to slip.
  
  > put Headdress on Horse
  Using your free hand, you cram your headdress on Horse's head, so that
  his eyes are covered. Not being able to see where he's going, Horse
  stops and moves around nervously. Gently, you calm him, and manage to
  urge him back to the Village.
  
  Your arrival causes a great commotion amongst the People. Everyone is
  overawed at the sight; the only thing detracting from your entrance the
  fact that your headdress is unceremoniously rammed onto Horse's head,
  making both of you look rather undignified. Still, the People are quick
  to realize that riding a Horse would be a wonderful way to discourage
  raiding Marauders, and they pester you with questions about how you
  managed to do it. Soon, the whole Village is out, trying to learn how
  to master the art of Horse Riding.
  
  This is the small Village you seem to lead. It consists of several
  small huts, plus a larger one with no walls the People use as a meeting
  area. Right now, the entire place is rather deserted, as everyone is
  down in the Canyon, trying to learn how to ride a Horse like you did.
  The ground slopes down to the northeast, and a path leads along a ridge
  to the northwest. A small stream collects here, and follows the slope
  down to the northeast.
  
  Your own hut is just to the west, slightly larger than the others.
  
  > check what you're carrying
  You are carrying:
  Headdress (being worn)
  
  > Go north
  This path marks the beginnings of a descent down into the local canyon,
  to the northeast. To the west is a small ragged cliff, small enough
  here to scale, but which becomes a more imposing wall as you continue
  your descent into the canyon. A small stream, beginning to show life
  again after the worst of the summer heat, follows its rocky bed here,
  as it continues down into the canyon.
  
  You can see Spear, Useful Rock, Bone, Purple Paste, White Bark and a
  Piece of Fruit here.
  
  > take all
  Spear: Taken.
  Useful Rock: Taken.
  Bone: Taken.
  Purple Paste: You scoop up what you can of the berry mash.
  White Bark: Taken.
  Piece of Fruit: Taken.

  > go west
  This room is akin to the room below. There is a staircase going down,
  and another door going east.
  
  The simple door is open. Through it, you see a small group of huts,
  clustered on an open mesa.
  
  You see etchings on the wall here, pictures of a village near a canyon
  with a herd of horses, which stretch around the entire room, from the
  doorway to the staircase.
  
  As you go back into the Edifice, you begin to hear a rumbling sound.
  
  > examine the etching
  The panel near the door contains etchings of a man dressed up with some
  sort of hat, leading a small village. Off in one corner lurk threatening-looking men.
  
  The next panel shows the man with the hat near a waterfall, picking a
  piece of fruit.
  
  The next panel shows the man with the hat enticing a horse near a cliff
  with the fruit, then leaping on its back.
  
  In the next panel, the man with the hat is on the horse's back, dodging obstacles, and trying to keep his balance.
  
  In the final panel, the man no longer has his hat on, and is urging the
  horse back to the village. It seems that the hat is now on top of the
  horse, instead.
  
  The simple door to the east is closing of its own volition!
  
  > Up
  There seems to be no way out in that direction.
  
  The rumbling is getting louder, and the whole Edifice is starting to
  shake!
