MART 210 Twine

(set: $respect to 0) You are a young explorer entering the **Forest of Learning**. The animals say the forest will only survive if visitors make good choices. A small path splits in two. [[Take the flower path->Flowers]] [[Take the river path->River]]

You see a field of beautiful flowers. You remember the forest guide saying plants help bees and animals survive. What do you do? [[Pick a bouquet to take home->PickFlowers]] [[Leave them for the bees->LeaveFlowers]]

You arrive at a clean flowing river. You notice some trash near the water. [[Pick up the trash->CleanRiver]] [[Ignore it and keep walking->IgnoreRiver]]

(set: $respect to $respect - 1) You pick many flowers. Soon you notice fewer bees buzzing around. You continue walking and reach a fork in the trail. [[Follow the sound of animals->Animals]]

(set: $respect to $respect + 1) You decide to leave the flowers. Bees buzz happily around you. A rabbit appears and points you toward the next path. [[Follow the rabbit->Animals]]

A group of forest animals gather around you. They are deciding if you are a **friend of the forest**. (if: $respect > 0)[ [[Listen to their decision->GoodEnding]] ] (else:)[ [[Listen to their decision->BadEnding]] ]

(set: $respect to $respect + 1) You clean up the trash. A turtle thanks you for protecting its home. You follow the trail deeper into the forest. [[Continue walking->Animals]]

(set: $respect to $respect - 1) You ignore the trash. The river looks a little sad. You continue walking. [[Continue walking->Animals]]

The animals cheer! "You respected the forest," they say. They crown you **Guardian of the Forest**. You promise to protect nature everywhere you go. THE END 🌿

The animals shake their heads. "You did not care for the forest," they say. They ask you to leave and learn more about protecting nature. Maybe next time you will make better choices. THE END 🌧
