Part 4 - Shed

The shiny key unlocks the shed.

After unlocking the shed with the shiny key:

try opening the shed.

A box of shavings is a container in the shed. It is fixed in place. In the box of shavings is a home called shavings. The shavings are privately-named and undescribed.

The description of the box of shavings is "A box full of wooden shavings.[if shavings are occupied] Some small wriggles are happily munching inside.".

A woodworm is an animal.

Instead of listening to the box of shavings, say "[if occupied]... chomp ... chomp ...[else] ...".

Check inserting something (called the thingy) into the box of shavings:

if the thingy are the half-eaten boards, continue the action; otherwise say "You don't see the benefit." instead.

After inserting the half-eaten boards into the box of shavings:

say "Hmmm.... .... chomp chomp chomp chomp ....";

the boards clear in three turns from now.

At the time when the boards clear:

now the half-eaten boards are vermin-free;

acquire woodworm;

now the shavings are occupied.

A glass jar is a container in the shed.

Check inserting something (called the thingy) into the glass jar:

if the thingy is the salad-plant, continue the action; otherwise say "You don't see the benefit." instead.

After inserting the salad-plant into the glass jar:

say "You make a bed out of the salad leaves and nestle the slug in it. The slug seems happy in its new home.";

now the salad-plant is colonised.

A shelf is a supporter in the shed. It is fixed in place. On the shelf is gardening equipment, some salad seeds and some flower seeds.
