Now the story. You start out in Brooklyn.  The first thing you do is type
"Sell house".  After typing this you must immediatly go and enter your house.
Once you get in your house you must look at the photo album and get the
pictures from it.  Then you must go over to the desk and close it.  Get the
bank statement and look at the bank statement. You will recieve points for
this. After this leave your house, go to the park and get a flower.  Be sure
not to walk on the grass because this will cost you points.  The proceed to
the Guzzebo(close enough)and look in the cracks. You will then discover a
gold coin.  Be sure to get this item for it is necessary to obtain it to
win.  Then go back to your house and wait untill you see a man holding some
green money.  Talk to him and he will give you money for your house.  After
getting the money go to the post office and ring the bell. When the mailman
comes ask for mail.  Then get the letter and open it.  Read the postmark
and get the stamp.  Then read the letter.  After doin this proceed to the
bank and withdraw your money.  THe account number is written on the bank
statement.  Go then and go to the stagecoach ticket office.  Buy a ticket
there. This will take you there BY WAGON!!!(Not by Boat)After you buy the
ticket go to the graveyard. Proceed to the second grave and look at your
parents graves and drop the flowers there.  Then go to your bosses office.
Go upstairs and look at the clippings. Then go down stairs and quit your
job.  Then go to the livery shop and talk to the man in there. Be sure
not to get kicked by the horse fo this will cost you your life.  Then
show that man your ticket and get on the wagon. And your on your way to
Cali!!!

Ok the stage coach will bring you to a ferry, and the ferry will take you to
New York from this place you will go to Mississippi Valley. Here you go and
talk to a group of men and one of these men he will ask for money be sure
to give him all of your money.. He will also send you to get good animals to
pull the wagons. From here go right and talk to a man who is sitting by a
tree reading a book he will give you the book(Bible). From here you go left
then down. Talk to the man there and ask to buy mature oxen. Then go back to
your camp and talk to captain again and he will give you another assignment.
The assugnment is to find out when to take off or leave. Go right from here
then go up adn look at the grass it will give you a report on how the season
grass is looking. Once it says it is drying out go talk to your captain
and you will leave from there.

Once you are on your way to California you will travel for a while through a
few states it wil give you general info about them. Once you get somewhere
near California you will be stopped at a hill. You will be shown outside your
wagon. You will have to quickly tie the chains. Then you must untie the oxen.
They will go down the hill then return back up. You are now on your way again
and wont be stopped until you hit a desert. Here you must look in barrel and
drink the water from it. Then you must look inside the wagon and eat the meat.
Be sure to go right from here and catch your men. You will soon be at Fort
Sutter...

time so don't get discouraged.  You must head several screens to the right
in order to find the gold.  After discovering gold about 40 times you will
hit a sudden dry spell.  THis mean that there is no more gold to mine.  So
go back to Sutters Fort and buy a Lantern and a Pan.  The pan is just
for extra points.  Then go to THE MULE SHOP!!! not THE MULE CORRAL!!
and buy a mule.  After buying the mule go to the Blacksmith's shop. Heat

its directions.  From here take your mule to the corral. Drop him off here.
Then you get another mule. Look at its brand if it looks the same as yours
then keep him.  This mule will be a trusty spirited mule.  Take the mule with
you to the Town around 23 screens to the right.  Read your bible Psalm 23.
Go tho Green Pastures hotel and rent room 11.  The man will give you a message

message to the man. He will leave the room. You will enter, Go to the
fireplace and turn the wheel.  Enter the fireplace you will appear on the
other side in a room.  Go to the window unlock it and open it. Go to the table
and read the letter. Get the magnet and the sting which is on the floor.
The bird will soon fly in and give the photo to the bird. He will fly away
