  > look around
  You are in the middle of an open grassland, the only visible tree far
  to the north. Despite your history of living in a forest, the wide open
  space feels free and natural, as if you had spent your entire life
  here.
  
  Listening closely, you can hear the sounds of running water to the
  north.
  
  A gentle breeze blows from the northeast, carrying a hint of pollen as
  it rustles through the grass, which bows in its wake.
  
  Dead Beast lies here, grasses slowly swaying over its corpse. One side
  of it has been peeled back, revealing a gaping hole where a swath of
  muscle has been removed.
  
  You can also see Spear here.
  
  > take the grass
  You pluck a handful of the dry grass.
  
  > Go north
  You wander through the grassland to the north.
  
  The main feature of this area of the grassland is a large, squat,
  blackened Stump, evidently a victim of a past brush fire. The grasses
  wave around Stump, and one or two have taken root in the Stump itself.
  Some day, this will be little more than a rise in the countryside.
  
  Listening closely, you can hear the sounds of running water to the
  north and east.
  
  A gentle breeze blows from the northeast, carrying a hint of pollen as
  it rustles through the grass, which bows in its wake.
  
  > examine Stump
  Stump is slightly soft from years of decay.
  
  > Go north
  The land here is divided by a stream, which has collected to form a
  wide, still pool.
  
  Weeds and long grasses choke the sides of the pool all around, but a
  long, flat rock juts out into the pool. The sun shines through a gap in
  a tree to the north, bathing the rock in sunlight.
  
  A gentle breeze blows from the northeast, carrying a hint of pollen as
  it whispers over the water.
  
  > put the grass on flat Rock
  (the handful of grass on Flat Rock)
  You put the handful of grass on Flat Rock.
  
  > hit flat Rock with useful Rock
  You strike Rock sharply across Rock. A shower of sparks flies out!
  
  Some of the sparks hit the handful of grass. A tiny flame appears,
  which quickly licks across to the others. Soon, all the grass is
  burning.
  
  The small flame flickers and begins to grow.
  
  > take grass
  You pluck a handful of the dry grass.
  Fire expends all of its fuel and burns out, leaving nothing but Ashes.

  > check your inventory
  You are carrying:
  a handful of grass
  Spear
  Meat
  Useful Rock
  
  > Go north
  The lush grassland to the south and southwest begins to get rocky here.
  Just at the border between grassland and rocks, a mighty Tree towers
  above you.
  
  Listening closely, you can hear the sounds of running water to the
  south.
  
  A gentle breeze blows from the northeast, carrying a hint of pollen as
  it rustles through the branches of the tree.
  
  You can see Log and some twisty branches here.
  
  > take the branches
  (the twisty branches)
  Taken.

  > Go south
  The land here is divided by a stream, which has collected to form a

  a tree to the north, bathing the rock in sunlight.
  
  A gentle breeze blows from the northeast, carrying a hint of pollen as
  it whispers over the water.
  
  Sitting on Flat Rock you see some Ashes.
  
  > move Ashes
  Nothing obvious happens.
  
  > Blow ashes
  The Ashes billow and blow away.
  
  > put all on flat Rock
  twisty branches: Done.
  handful of grass: Done.

  You're now extremely hungry.
  
  > hit flat with useful
  You strike Rock sharply across Rock. A shower of sparks flies out!
  
  Some of the sparks hit the handful of grass. A tiny flame appears,
  which quickly licks across to the others. Soon, all the grass is
  burning.
  
  A few sparks hit the branches, but they quickly die out. One spark hits
  a solitary twig, which briefly flares, but soon dies out again.
  A few sparks hit Log, but die away before igniting anything.
