Doing all pig- and box-related tasks before visiting the gnome...
> INVENTORY
Grunk have:
brick
hat
key
pole
torch (on fire)
pants (black and sooty and wet) (Grunk wearing them)
Pig yawn.
> LURE PIG WITH BRICK
Grunk not know what that mean.
> HIT BOX
WHAM! Clink! Coin fall out of box into basket.
> TAKE ALL FROM BOX
OK, got it.
Pig stick nose on ground and snuff around. Then pig eat thing off ground. Grunk not see what, but it probably bug.
> PUT COIN IN SLOT
Clink! Coin gone inside box now.
Grunk remember what happen next!
KA-CHUNK! Thunk! Brick fall out of box into basket.
BAM! Clink! Coin fall out of box into basket.
Our dim-witted green friend has some brains after all. Skipping PULL LEVER and HIT BOX as a result of Grunk's initiative.
> TAKE ALL FROM BOX
coin: OK, got it.
brick: OK, got it.
Pig walk under table. Pig pretty short if pig can walk under table. But that because it pig.
> GO TO GNOME
Gnome Room
This look like room for little person. It have bed that too little for Grunk. It have trunk that too little for Grunk. It have desk that too little for Grunk. Desk have stool that too little for Grunk. Room have doorway to east and west too, but them not so little. That good, because if doorway too little for Grunk, not know how Grunk get back out of room.
Gnome sit at desk with pen and paper.
On top of shelf there ball (that make light).
On top of desk there bottle and pile of paper and book.
Grunk see whistle and chair (on fire) here too.
Gnome look up at Grunk and nod.
> ASK GNOME ABOUT BRICK
Grunk tell gnome all about this brick that Grunk find.
"Well!" say gnome, "Just like mother used to make. Those things are surprisingly addictive." Gnome point finger at Grunk. "It's hard to stop at just one."
Gnome close both eye and smile. "I remember Mom used to set out a whole tray of those every Saturday afternoon," him say. "Sometimes I would come in when she wasn't looking and swipe the whole thing." Gnome open eye again, shaking him head. "Once I started in on them, I could hardly stop: that tray would be empty before I even realized what I was doing."
[There probably lots of thing Grunk can talk about. But Grunk not think of them right now.]
> ASK GNOME ABOUT PIECE OF PAPER
Grunk tell gnome about paper that Grunk find in crack.
Gnome smile and say, "Wouldn't it be nice if that turned out to be the lost page from this book?" Then him shake head. "But I suppose we both know how unlikely that is."
