A sign on the wall says, "Watch for our

It has a gift suggestion for everyone on

"Just what I need!" you think. I hope I
can find that computer!"

               REST ROOM

You are back in the restroom. You scrub
your arm one more time, for good
measure.

        FLAMINGO ROOM RESTAURANT

You are in a large, dark room with lots
of tables. It smells like tuna salad.
*4
              STORAGE ROOM

You enter a dusty room. Giant cardboard
candy canes and other Christmas
decorations stand in one corner. You see
a huge bin full of mannequins' spare
legs and arms. "Yuck!" you exclaim,
leaping backwards.
*4.1
              STORAGE ROOM

You knock over a bucket of marbles.
*5
               ELECTRONICS

This room is filled with an eerie blue
glow. The overhead lights are off, but
lots of little blue and green lights
shine from televisions and video
recorders.
*5.1
               ELECTRONICS

You see a little radio. You turn it on.
The disc jockey is playing "Happy
Birthday." The song reminds you of your
father. You snap the radio off right
away!
*6
             SPORTING GOODS

"OOF!" you grunt as you bump into
someone very big. "Uh...excuse me!"

The person doesn't say anything. When
your eyes get used to the darkness, you
see that you have just spoken to a big
punching bag. You punch the bag a couple
of times and move on.
*7
                  BOOKS

You spot a big book full of color
photographs of Australian cattle dogs.
Your father would love it!
Unfortunately, it costs $85.

Unfortunately, it costs $85.

On the counter, you see a computer. A
sign on the computer says, "Convenient
Shopping Service Computer. A Gift
Suggestion for Everyone on Your List."

               STATIONERY

You are sure that you can find a gift
here. You look at the pens. "Hmm," you
say, seeing the prices of $20 and up.

Suddenly, a robot guard with a big
antenna appears in the doorway. "I
detect unauthorized sound waves in the
Stationery Department," it bleeps.
*8.1
               STATIONERY

"Sorry, Intruder," the robot bleeps.
"Any person or thing making an
unauthorized sound must be ejected." It
picks you up and deposits you outside
the store's back door.

"Rats!" you think. "I should have made
him think that something else made that
noise."
*8.2
               STATIONERY

You quickly turn on the radio and shove
it towards the robot. "Sorry, Intruder,"
the robot says. "Any person or thing
making an unauthorized sound must be
ejected." It picks up the radio and
leaves.
*8.3
               STATIONERY

You quickly turn on the radio and shove
it towards the robot. "Sorry, Intruder,"
the robot says. "Any person or thing
making an unauthorized sound must be
ejected." It picks up the radio and
leaves.

As it leaves, the robot drops a slip of
paper. The paper says, "Today's computer
password is BUG CHOW."

                SLEEPWEAR

It is so dark, you cannot see anything!
You walk into something that feels like
a giant spider web. Yikes! It catches
on your knapsack. As you untangle your
bag, you realize that you have walked
into a lacy nightgown.
*10
                MILLINERY

You are startled to see dozens of people
in the dim light ahead of you. "Uh,
hello," you ask bravely. But no one says
anything to you. You get closer and see
that the room is full of fancy hats on
stands that look like heads.

You try on a few, but they don't really
suit you.
*11
           CHILDREN'S CLOTHING

The Children's Clothing Department is
having a sale! Even so, the only thing
you could buy for $5 is a pair of size 2
pink pajamas with feet. Your dad doesn't
look good in pink, so you hurry out.
*12
                  TOYS

You follow a clickety-clack sound into
the next room. You see an electric train
whizzing around a miniature city. You
play with the trains.
*12.1
                  TOYS

You see a remote-control car and the
tiny radio that tells it what to do.
Your best friend has a car just like it,
so you know how it works.
*13
             BETTER DRESSES

You wind your way between racks of
ladies' clothes. A purple dress with
green polka dots catches your eye.
"There is an idea for Mom's birthday,"
you say to yourself. Then you look down.
The floor in front of you is covered
with sharp pins. Better not step on
them!
*131
             BETTER DRESSES

You're standing on the pins. One of the
pins pokes through your shoes. "Yowch!
Ooch!" you yell, hopping all over the
store on the other foot. You wish that
you had had the good sense to jump over
those pins. You stop hopping long enough
to take the pin out of your shoe. You
look around.
*14
               MEN'S WEAR

"I'm sure to find a present here," you
think. You spot a snappy red bow tie.
You check the price tag. It costs $8. If
only you had mowed one more lawn this
summer!
*15
                  SHOES

You are surrounded by racks of sneakers,
dress shoes, boots, children's shoes,
sandals, and slippers. There is one shoe
from each pair. You wonder where the
other shoe is, and whether the pairs
will ever get back together.
*15.1
                  SHOES

As you wonder, you trip over a shoe that
someone left in the middle of the floor.
*16
               ACCESSORIES

You see displays of wallets, belts,
sunglasses, and gloves. Surely you can
find a present here!

Suddenly you hear a metallic voice say,
"Unauthorized movement detected in
Accessories Department. Intruder must be
ejected." A robot is coming straight for
you!
*16.1
               ACCESSORIES

You see displays of wallets, belts,
sunglasses, and gloves. Surely you can
find a present here!

Unfortunately, the wallets cost $15 and
more, and belts, sunglasses, and gloves
are even more expensive!
*16.3
               ACCESSORIES

The motion-sensing robot detects your
shaking knees. "Sorry, Intruder," it
says. "You must come with me." It scoops
you up, puts you in its knapsack, and
rolls away. It dumps you outside.
"Drat!" you think. "If only I had
something that could move around! It
could have distracted that robot!"
*16.5
               ACCESSORIES

You set the toy car on the floor and
start turning the dials on the radio
controller. The little car heads for
the robot, swerving this way and that.
"Unauthorized motion detected. Sorry,
Intruder, you must come with me," says
the robot. It picks up the little car
and scurries away with it.
*99.2
               ACCESSORIES
