 Introduction:
 
    Dropped off by your mother, you , a mere child, are looking forward to spending your first fun 
    filled evening at the local circus without any parental supervision. Assuming, that is, that  
    you can ever make it inside.

 Interacting with the game:

    Incorporating a new point and click interface,the days of typing endless "look" and "get" phrases 
    have come to an end. All actions are controlled with simple clicks of the **left mouse button while 
    using the corresponding action cursor.

     * Look: Select the eye icon on the menu bar and click on what you would like to examine.
     * Talk: Select the mouth icon on the menu bar and click on what you would like to talk to.
     * Get:  Select the hand icon on the menu bar and then click on what you would like to get.
     * Use:  Select the backpack icon to access the available inventory items.
             Using the Hand icon, select the item that you would like to use and exit the inventory.
             Then simply click where you would like to use the item.
 
     ** You can scroll through the available actions by clicking the right mouse button.

   In order to access the "systems" menu, which will allow you to Load, Save, Restart, Quit or change 
   Volume and Speed settings, you simply click on the Large blue sphere of the menu graphic. To return

 Sound Support:

    * The music in this game only supports the computers internal speaker. You are free to 
      change the config files soundcard setup, but that will only result in silence. I am not a 
      musician and you should consider yourself lucky there is any sound at all.

 Enjoy!
