-------- ( IMAGIC ) -------- BEAUTY & the BEAST GAME PROGRAM INSTRUCTIONS typed by: John P. Bindel jbindel@cs.tamu.edu (soon to be bindel@tsd.itg.ti.com) Horrible Hank has run off with Tiny Mabel. She's Bashful Buford's girl. All of Lambville Falls is talking. Now, Horrible Hank is a mean one. Eats hot buttered bricks for breakfast. Regular mountain of a man. He uses boulders instead of bowling balls. Carries them with him in his pocket, like paper clips. Bowls a strike every time. Small wonder. Seems Tiny Mabel finally told him off. Everybody heard. That's when Horrible Hank grabbed her, and ran off. Buford may be scrawny, but he's got spunk. He's cornered them up on the old Mutton Building. Buford jumps over those boulders Horrible Hank throws his way. He dodges birds and bats and leaps clean over rats---all to get his little love back. It's Bashful Buford to the rescue! Horrible Hank has taken his Tiny Mabel, sweetest girl in three counties. That Horrible Hank, He's something. Drinks alligator blood like most folks drink water. Crushes cars with one punch. (Your car? Best smile, and pay your premiums.) When Horrible Hank speaks, grown men fain. Paint peels off the walls. Nobody messes with Horrible Hank. Nobody, that is, until *now*. Help Buford better that beast! He's got to climb up through open windows. That old Mutton Building is rife with bats and rats and birds. Buford has to leap and lunge out of their way. Horrible Hank throws his bolder balls. Some break. Buford has to beware of being beaned by them. It's just to awful, but he's got to save his Mabel. She sends her heart out to him, sweet thing that she is. When he catches her encouragement, he's a new man. Why, he absolutely glows. For a little while, nothing can stop him. Buford needs all the help you can lend him. Take good care now, y'hear?
