MESSAGE 210
Wally remarks, "This piece of wood seems to be cut to exactly the dimensions I
need. But, if I'm going to use it for a bird, I'd need some way for the poor
little buggers to come and go. Could you figure a way to do that for me?"
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 211
Wally is impressed. He says, "This piece of wood is the exact size for my
birdhouse and the holes would make perfect doorways. There's one little problem
- the number of holes doesn't seem to be right for the size of the brood."
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 212
You give the brown bottle to Wally. He opens it and gulps down the liquid.
Guess he really needed that bad. He prods, "Hurry up!" and bolts down the tree.
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 213
Wally is delighted, "This is perfect! The four holes will give each bird a
private entrance."  He scampers up the tree, where you hear the sounds of a
major building project. After a while, he returns and says, "The house is great
but I still have one slight problem. I've rigged a device to raise the house to
the desired position, but now I need some kind of counterweight."  Mr. O whips
out his pocket calculator and quickly says, "I've calculated the exact weight
needed to be 31 pounds, no more or less. I have'nt any idea what I could use.
If you could find something suitable, I would be eternally grateful."
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 214
Wally eyes the vacuum cleaner and says, "This could be just the weight I need!"
He clambers up the tree where you hear strange sounds like the raising and
lowering of a drawbridge in a medieval castle. Eventually Mr. O reappears
and states, "That did the trick. The birdhouse looks great and should be able
to withstand anything nature can throw at it. Thanks for all your help."
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 215
Mr. O says, "I really have no use for the $NOUN$ right now." 
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 216
Wally takes the $NOUN$ and says, "This doesn't look too promising for
the weight I need, but let me check it anyway." He climbs the tree with the
$NOUN$ only to return and instruct you, "This is definitely too heavy!"
He returns the $NOUN$ and says, "Remember, I need exactly 31 pounds."
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 217
Taking the $NOUN$, Wally surmises, "This looks a bit light." He climbs
the tree but returns disappointed. He says, "This is definitely too light. I
need exactly 31 pounds." He returns the $NOUN$ to you.
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 218
Mr. O rambles on about the joys of ornithology. He then tells you about his 
current project. "I'm trying to build a home for some birds who've taken a
fancy to this tree. I'm almost finished but I need something to complete the
front entry. I would appreciate anything you could give me to help finish the
job, so I can get down from this dadburn tree."
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 219
Mr. O says, "Thanks again for that drilled piece of wood. The birdhouse looks
great. But I still need a 31 pound counterweight to get it into position."
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 220
Wally says, "I am grateful for all your help and I hate to be a pain in the
neck... But, there is one LAST problem. You see, I am afraid of heights. The
medication I usually take for this condition seems to have worn off. If you
could possibly get it for me I'd be willing to follow you anywhere."
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 221
"I'm a typical gentleman farmer, do-it-yourselfer, and amateur ornithologist.
People say I'm messy and forgetful, but that's untrue. Someday, when I clear up
my desk, I'm going to write those detractors, if I can recall their names!"
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 222
You ascend the nylon rope and arrive on the deck with Wally close behind.
Mrs. O notices Wally and says to him, "Where the hell have you been? Do you
realize I had to hire this private detective just to find you? You know what
that'll do to our budget this month; especially on the puny salary you bring
home?" Mrs. O thanks you profusely for the wonderful job.
  "And now for that BIG REWARD I promised you...", Mrs. O beams. She runs into 
the kitchen and returns with a furry white cat. "Little Felix, here is a real
gem. We hate to part with him, but it's the LEAST we can do for your efforts."
She escorts you and your reward to the door and snickers a "Thank you." 
               !!!! CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE WON THE GAME !!!! 
               (It certainly was worth the effort, wasn't it?)
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 223
What the heck are you still here for?  I told you, YOU WON THE GAME!
What do you want - a medal?  Guess I'll have to quit for you too!

END_MESSAGE

You set the dial to $OBJECT$. Success - The safe pops open!

END_MESSAGE

You close the safe and it locks again.
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 230
You need to specify a number to set the dial to. Just say "TURN (SET) DIAL
TO XXXX" where X is whatever number you want.
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 231
Wally says impatiently, "No time to talk now, I should be getting back to
Sallie.  She's going to be furious that I missed dinner last night!"
END_MESSAGE
MESSAGE 232
But you aren't carrying the $OBJECT$!
