[0000] The seagull has no interest in it [0001] The fisherman ignores you. [0002] You don't have that. [0003] You can't give that. [0004] You don't see any fish right now. [0005] The pier is old and weather-beaten. [0006] There is only ocean under the old pier. [0007] Enter the water first. [0008] You look under the water, and see...more water! [0009] There is nothing of interest in the wooden barrel. [0010] The wide, blue ocean disappears into the horizon to the west. [0011] It's just an ordinary seagull. [0012] You see an old rotted rope attached to the pier. [0013] You see a grizzled, old fisherman on the pier. Apparently, he isn't having any luck today. [0014] You don't see him here. [0015] You are standing at the end of an old weathered pier. From here, to the west, you can see nothing but ocean. [0016] You are swimming near the end of an old weathered pier. From here, to the west, you can see nothing but ocean. [0017] You can't when you're on the pier. [0018] You taste the ocean water. YUCK!! This water's too salty! [0019] Just jump on in! [0020] You are already in the water. [0021] The water is much too deep here. [0022] You're already swimming. [0023] You wouldn't want it. It's of no use to you. [0024] Not while you're swimming. [0025] What do you want to do with it? [0026] You don't see one here. [0027] It's his, Rosella! [0028] You're not a thief, Rosella! [0029] The seagull is not interested. [0030] You can't kiss a seagull. [0031] Seagulls don't talk. [0032] You can't catch the seagull. [0033] You couldn't get the fisherman. [0034] You don't see him. [0035] How can you do that, Rosella? [0036] You think for a moment that it might help, but then change your mind. [0037] You say a few words to the old fisherman. However, he must have other things on his mind as he seems to ignore you. [0038] There is no one nearby. [0039] With what? [0040] Eagerly, from the end of the pier, you fling the baited line of the fishing pole into the ocean. [0041] Almost immediately, you feel a sharp tug on the line! Something pulls and fights your line as you slowly reel it in. There it is! You have caught yourself...a fine fat fish! [0042] Eagerly, from the end of the pier, you fling the line of the fishing pole into the ocean. [0043] But wait! You haven't baited your hook! Feeling rather sheepish, you reel in your empty fishing line. [0044] Almost immediately, you feel a sharp tug on the line! Something pulls and fights your line as you slowly reel it in. There it is! You have caught yourself...an old waterlogged boot. But, since you have no need of a boot, you toss it back into the water. [0045] The fish don't seem to be biting.
