Once upon a time, there lived an old Miller who had three sons. When he died he was so poor that all he left was his mill, his donkey and his old black cat. The eldest son inherited the mill, the middle one the donkey and all that was left for the youngest son was the old cat. Now this was no ordinary cat and you can imagine the Miller's sons amazement when the cat spoke to him. 'Find me a bag, a pair of boots and I will find you a beautiful princess to marry , he said. In this game, you will take the roll of the Miller's son and the computer will become your cat. You must give instructions in the form of two word sentences such as EAT MOUSE, remember, of course, that cat's have limited vocabulary and if it doesn't understand you, you should try another command.
