As soon as you enter the Fire House,
the fire fighters break into
applause.  "You've returned our fire
truck!" they shout.  "We don't have
to ride { anymore!  Star Towners
rejoice!"
*52
You lead < out of the Fire House.
"Let's take this constellation back
to Star Gazer's Knoll!" you say.

">," Ursa Minor says to you with a
soft purr, "a star is born!"
*53
In the far corner of the Fire House,
< } bent over, trying to fill the
role of the Fire House's missing fire
truck.
*500
Orion, the Hunter, groans very loudly
as several fire fighters climb on his
back and tie small bags of water to
the arrows in his quiver.
*501
Each of the Seven Sisters is acting
like a different part of the truck.
One fire fighter pulls the hair of
one of the sisters so that she yells
like the fire truck's horn.
*502
Several fire fighters are climbing
all over the Cup, trying to figure
out how to ride it without spilling
any of the water in the cup!  "What a
star-crossed fate!" Ursa says to you.
*503
Hydra is growling as several fire
fighters slip a rein around his neck.
"Hydra is no fire truck!" you sigh.
*504
Fire fighters are hanging hoses and
fire suits all over Cygnus' wings.
With all this extra weight, Cygnus
can hardly race to the scene of a
fire, let alone fly!
*505
But, oddly, Hercules is smiling.
"Come on!" he shouts to the fire
fighters, "I can carry more of you!"
The fire fighters, however, are not
very enthusiastic as he tucks
several under his arms.
*506
The Dolphin looks very silly with a
siren on his head and hoses wrapped
around his sleek body--Delphinus
looks practically immobile!  This is
not the way to run a Fire House! you
think.
*507
Pegasus whinnies and flaps his wings
in protest. "I'm not a fire truck!"
the Winged Horse cries.  But the fire
fighters ignore the animal and tie
ladders to his tail.
*508
Draco spews fire left and right as
the fire fighters try to wrap a hose
around his body.  "I don't think fire
fighters should fight fire with
fire," you sigh to Ursa Minor.
*509
Cepheus the King tries to help as
several firemen climb on his back
while a firewoman directs them.  But
try as he might, he's just not the
stuff from which fire trucks are
made!
*54
"This won't do!" you say to Ursa
Minor. "Let's get this constellation
out of here!"

You reach out to take {, but the
fire fighters stop you.
*55
"You're not taking {! At least not
until you find our fire truck that
this bizarre constellation
mysteriously replaced!" The fire
fighters eyes burn with anger.
*56
"We better bring them their
fire truck," you say.

"Well, >," Ursa Minor says, "let's
search Star Town!"
*57
As soon as you enter the Fire House
for the second time, you are
assaulted by the sight of the most
pathetic-looking fire truck you have
ever seen.  The fire fighters,
however, seem to prefer a useless
fire truck to no truck at all!

"I think we'd better find their fire
truck if we want to put { back in the
sky!" Ursa Minor says.
*58
"Antsy Antares!" Ursa Minor yelps as
you enter the Fire House for the
third time.  "< } getting filled with
water!  Let's find that fire truck
before we start seeing stars!"
*59
As you and Ursa Minor enter the
Fire House you are greeted by a
beautiful sight:  a sleek, red fire
truck!  "I give it four stars" Ursa
says, winking.

"Argh!  Your wisecracks get worse all
the time!" you say as you and she
leave the fire house.
*60
In the far corner of the Fire House
you notice /.  Do you need /?
*61
You already have the \ with you.  You
must take care of what you have
before you pick up anything new.
*550
"Excuse me, gentlemen," you say to
the Quartet.  "If you follow me, I
can return you to your Barber Shop."

"Hooray!  Hooray!  Hooray!  Hooray!"
they all shout in harmony. They
squeeze into your wagon and let you
pull them out of the Fire House.
*552
You put the reel of film into your
wagon and wrap your arm around Ursa.
"Now, I've got stars on both sides of
me!" you say to Ursa as you leave the
Fire House.
*553
"Excuse me, sir," you say to the
waiter. "You look rather lost.  If
you follow me, I can return you to
your Restaurant."

The waiter pulls out his book of
checks and hops into your wagon.
*554
With the help of your little bear
friend, you heave the cage into your
wagon and drag the wagon out of the
Fire House.
*555
"Excuse me, madam" you say to the
woman dressed in a business suit and
flight goggles.  "If you follow me, I
can take you back to the Airport."

The controller smiles and says "Thank
you!  You know, I can't even remember
what I'm doing here!" She steps into
your wagon and sits down.
*556
"Excuse me, sir," you say to the
librarian whose nose is deep inside a
large book.  "You look rather out of
place here.  If you follow me, I can
return you to the Grammmar School."

The librarian happily settles into
your wagon and opens a book.  He
reads while you pull him out of the
Fire House.
*557
"Excuse me, Madam," you say to the
doctor.  "If you follow me, I can
return you to all your patients at
the Hospital."

The doctor pulls her white coat about
her shoulders and sits down in your
wagon.
*558
"Excuse me, sir," you say to the
astronomer.  "If you follow me, I can
return you to the Observatory."

The astronomer adjusts his glasses,
stumbles into your wagon, and
mutters, "Thank you, thank you, I
didn't think I was in the right
place."
*63
You and Ursa Minor are in a
large Fire House.  Directly in front
of you is a tall fire pole.  A crowd
of fire fighters is gathered near the
back of the Fire House.
*64
You and Ursa Minor walk back into the
large Fire House.
*65
"Nothing much here," you say to Ursa.
"Let's get out of here and continue
searching Star Town."
*66
You drop off the Fireman's Hat.
"Let's go rescue another
constellation," you say to Ursa, and
quickly leave the Fire House.
