GETTING INTO THE TEA HOUSE

JAPANESE GARDEN ENTRANCE

You are at the entrance of a beautiful Japanese garden.  A curved 
pathway to the northeast leads deeper into the garden.  Directly 
south is a gate leading back to the store.   

>ne
You cross a small bridge and follow curved pathways deeper into 
the garden.  Wandering through the garden makes you feel serene 
and peaceful.  

STONE STEP

You are on a stone step.  A small tea house stands directly to your 
north.  A wooden step leads upwards and northwards into the tea 
house.  The rice paper panel door to the teahouse is closed. 

To the southwest is the curved pathway back through the garden.   

>open door
You don't see any way to open the door.  There must be some sort 
of trick to it.   

>n
You try to climb the wooden step to enter the tea house, but the 
rice paper panel door won't open for you.   

>take off shoes
The rice paper panel door opens as you slip out of your shoes and 
leave them behind on the lower step.  You enter the tea house.  The 
rice paper panel door closes behind you.  

TEA HOUSE

There's a low table in the center of the tea house. 

Near the west wall you see a large tape recorder and a plastic box 
of audio cassettes. 

The rice paper panel door is to the south.
