  > Go downwards
  You tumble down, but being a soft bear, that's ok.
  
  > Go north
  The local centre for entertainment and laziness, the living room is permanent home to a very comfortable sofa and a television set. Both of these are much in use, usually at the same time.
  
  From here you can go south to the kitchen, southeast to the hall, or east to the study.
  
  Holly the calico cat is here, fast asleep on the floor.
  
  `Do you dream of saving bridges from iminent disaster during major storms rather than playing volleyball?'
  
  > wait a while
  Time passes.
  
  `Have you ever wondered just how many designers of text adventures are obsessed with their cats?'
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes.
  
  A less than thrilling crescendo of over the top home shopping show muzak can be heard.
  
  > wait
  Time passes.
  
  `Well want, wish and wonder no more!'
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes.
  
  `Because now, you too can thrill to the drama and excitement of interactive fiction!'
  
  > wait
  Time passes.
  
  `That's right, with this amazing device, the z-chip, any computer can be a z-machine!'
  
  > go east
  This is more of a study-to-be than a study. A desk will one day grace the west wall, along with a comfortable study chair. One day.
  
  The hall lies to the south, the living room to the west.
  
  On the floor you can see a less than organised pile of papers. In one corner sits a lone filing cabinet.
  
  > hit the cabinet
  Now, that's hardly good bear behaviour, is it?
  
  > open the drawer
  It seems to be locked.
  
  > look at the door
  A tall and forbidding locked door, with a postage slot half way up.
  
  > look at the slot
  A slim postage slot.
  
  > open it
  The postage slot is out of reach.
  
  > Go northwest
  The local centre for entertainment and laziness, the living room is permanent home to a very comfortable sofa and a television set. Both of these are much in use, usually at the same time.

  Holly the calico cat is here, fast asleep on the floor.
  
  `Well want, wish and wonder no more!'
  
  > enter the basket
  What a strange idea.
  
  > Examine tv
  A less than state of the art colour tv, presently tuned to a home shopping show.
  
  The television is currently switched on.
  
  `That password again...'
  
  > look under the sofa
  You find nothing of interest.

  > climb the chair
  You struggle, but clamber up successfully.
  
  > Open slot
  The postage slot is out of reach.
  
  > open the clock
  The antique clock is out of reach.
  
  > Go west
  A small knot of doors leading every which way, this end of the hall can be a little confusing for small bears such as yourself.
  
  Let's try to make it easy: northwest to the living room, north to the study, east to the front entrance, and south to the rest of the hall.
  
  > go north

  On the floor you can see a less than organised pile of papers. In one corner sits a lone filing cabinet.
  
  > Search papers
  Delving deep into the pile, you find a reply card for the Teddy Bear Picnic!
  
  > examine the card
  Next to a picture of a famous teddy bear of print, stage and screen, it says `Please bring this card with you when you attend the Teddy Bear Picnic.' A square in the top right corner says `Affix stamp here.'
  
  > Search papers
  Towards the middle of the pile of papers you find a blueprint for the Chron-O-John, but this fails to hold your interest, and you place it back.
