-} NOTE: THE WIZARD MAY APPEAR ONCE AND
A WHILE AND CAST A SPELL ON YOU,
DON'T WORRY. THE SPELL WILL WEAR OFF

ARE DISORIENTED IN DIRECTION. YOU
ARE TRYING TO GET TO THE RIDDLE ROOM
WHICH LIES TO THE SE, BUT YOU MIGHT
END UP SOMEWHERE ELSE. JUST MAKE
YOUR WAY BACK TO THE CAROUSEL ROOM
AND KEEP TRYING UNTIL YOU GET THERE.
WHEN YOU GET TO THE RIDDLE ROOM, YOU
WILL NEED TO SOLVE THE RIDDLE BEFORE
YOU CAN GET TO THE PEARL ROOM. JUST
SAY "A WELL", WHICH IS THE ANSWER
TO THE RIDDLE.
