GETTING STEWIE DOWN FROM THE BALLOONS

SOUTHEAST EXHIBIT

You see a crocodile, a baby hippo, and a mother hippo.  The crocodile 
and the mother hippo are squared off against each other in a hostile 
manner.  It appears to be a standoff.   

The southeast exhibit shares water with the south exhibit.  The gate 
that would normally separate the two exhibits has been opened.  The 
lever is pushed up.   

A fence surrounds the exhibit. 

The center of the zoo is to the northwest.  The way is blocked in all
of the other directions.

The south exhibit shares water with the southeast exhibit.  The gate 
that would normally separate the two exhibits has been opened.  The

A fence surrounds the exhibit. 

The center of the zoo is to the north.  The way is blocked in all of

Stewie, holding all five balloons, floats high in the air.  He's
drifting in this direction.  Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Chuck come running 
here from the zoo center.   

>throw dart at balloons
You throw the yellow dart at the balloons.  You pop one of the ballons, 
and Stewie slowly falls into the water.  He lets go of the rest of the 
balloons and they fly away.  He swims to the side and gets out of the 
exhibit. 

Stewie has been quite shaken by the experience and is grateful to you 
for saving him.  As a token of his appreciation, he gives you his
prized possession, a small cloth sack. 

Then the zoo keeper arrives on the scene.  "Who's the idiot who 
opened this gate?" he barks.  You and the penguins try to look 
innocent of any wrongdoing, while the zookeeper gets the hippos back 
where they belong and closes the gate.  He tosses the rubber duckie out 
of the exhibit.   

You sneak over and take the rubber duckie when you think the 
zookeeper isn't looking.  But during all of the confusion you seem to 
have lost the penguin feather.   

The yellow dart is gone from sight.  You assume it must be in the 
exhibit somewhere.  You certainly have no intention of trying to 
retrieve it.
