Notes
1. After you have slept in the cave the game is very closely
timed, so don't deviate from the walk through.
2. If the lightning doesn't come when you are inside the shed
you have taken too many turns and will have to try again.

Walk Through
(Start at the edge of a meadow), EXAMINE BRIDGE, E (stream bank),
EXAMINE STREAM, S (wildflowers), GET ALL (the metallic glint turns
out to be an old battered bucket), EXAMINE BUCKET, N (back to
stream bank), FILL BUCKET (with water from the stream), NE (rocky
outlook), GET SPADE (it is stuck), POUR WATER ON SPADE, GET SPADE
(it comes free), EXAMINE SPADE, DROP BUCKET, E (near top of hill),
EXAMINE BOULDER (there's a cave behind it), MOVE BOULDER (it's
sunk into the ground), DIG BOULDER WITH SPADE, INVENTORY (carrying
the spade shaft), WAIT (until a fox appears under a nearby bush),
EXAMINE FOX, THROW SHAFT (the fox chases it, returns and drops it
at your feet), THROW SHAFT (the fox chases it and drops something
at your feet), LOOK (it was a key), GET KEY, EXAMINE KEY (rusty).

E (into the small cave), EXAMINE BLANKET, WAIT (until it is dark
and raining outside), SLEEP (you wrap yourself in the blanket and
curl up on the floor. something awakens you), DROP BLANKET, W
(near top of hill), NW, SE (steep face), S (edge of bluff by old
shed), UNLOCK DOOR WITH KEY (door opens), DROP KEY, E (inside shed
where lightening should show that there are two sandbags here),
GET TORN SANDBAG, W, N, SW, N (stream bank), DROP TORN SANDBAG
(the runoff water backs up behind the sandbag), NE (rocky
outlook), E (near top of hill), PUSH ROCK SOUTH (it tumbles down
the hill), GET BLADE, NW, SE (steep face where the bush has been
demolished by the falling boulder), WEDGE BLADE IN CRACK, S, E
(lightning should show that you are back in the small shed), GET
DIRTY SANDBAG,

W (edge of bluff), THROW DIRTY SANDBAG ACROSS GAP, N (steep face
where a heavy branch has been blown from the tree), GET DIRTY
SANDBAG, GET BRANCH, SW, N (bridge), DROP DIRTY SANDBAG (the
runoff water is backing up behind it), EXAMINE BRIDGE (a major
beam has fallen and it sags - the fox should "yip" and you see a
narrow spot on the bank), DIG SPOT (you make a shallow channel),
DIG SPOT (channel becomes deeper), WEDGE BRANCH UNDER BRIDGE (in
the gap left by the missing support beam), DIG SPOT, DIG SPOT, DIG
SPOT, DIG SPOT (you have saved the bridge. you awaken in the small
cave), INVENTORY (carrying a blanket), W (near top of hill), NW,
